Olivia Chowdry, CEO and founder of Atlas Impact.

Olivia Chowdry
Founder and CEO

As a next-generation inheritor, Olivia Chowdry brings first-hand experience to the work of impact and capital stewardship.

After the sudden loss of her father 25 years ago, Olivia saw how wealth can amplify uncertainty when families lack shared language and clear structures. In the years that followed, she supported her mother through complex family-office decision-making, learning early how capital, responsibility, and relationships intersect.

Olivia’s approach combines careful attention to family dynamics with disciplined analysis and a strong social-impact lens. She is known for bringing data and clarity to conversations shaped by fear or avoidance, helping families move from hesitation to alignment.

Olivia is a frequent guest lecturer, including at the University of Oxford, and has led workshops with global networks such as NEXUS and Forward Global.

Olivia founded Atlas Impact, in her father’s memory, to build for families like hers the trusted, discreet guidance her own family once lacked.

Olivia’s conviction: When wealth is stewarded with clarity and intention, it can become a force for impact rather than division.

  • "Olivia has a rare ability to bring clarity to emotionally complex conversations about wealth, responsibility, and impact. Families trust her because she understands both the human dynamics and the institutional realities.”

    — Senior advisor, global philanthropy and family-office ecosystem

  • “What sets Olivia apart is her credibility with next-generation leaders and her discipline around governance and fiduciary decision-making. She meets families where they actually are.”

    — Founder, international next-gen network

  • "Olivia combines lived experience with rigor. She brings seriousness, discretion, and judgment to work that is often mishandled or rushed."
