Our Team
Executive Team
Tessa Rinck
Co-President
Hey there! I'm a junior at Stern concentrating in Sustainable Business, Data Science and Accounting. Characterized by my European heritage, Asian upbringing and North American education, I consider myself to be a global citizen, actively seeking to get involved with any community that I am a part of. As a result, I joined Net Impact two years ago! Meeting every week to discuss key ESG topics with likeminded individuals, working together to navigate the intersection between business and sustainability, is truly inspiring. Outside of school I love skiing, running, and playing rugby. Please reach out to talk about anything and everything!
Enzo Tanjutco
Co-President
Hi guys! I’m a junior at Stern currently enrolled in the BS/MS in Accounting program with a co-concentration in Data Science. I’m an international student originally from the Philippines (born and raised!) and because of my upbringing, I’ve always been interested in anything and everything related to social impact and sustainability. I joined Net Impact in my sophomore fall looking for a community to join, and I’m really grateful to call this club my second home at NYU. I love talking to people and learning new things, so please feel free to reach out! For fun, I love going to the gym, playing golf, taking naps, and trying out new restaurants in the city. I also recently started running so if you have any tips then I’d love to chat!

Soham Chaudhuri
Community Co-Director
Hey guys! My name is Soham, and I'm currently a sophomore studying Finance and Data Science. I've been involved with Net Impact ever since I stepped foot in Stern, as I'm really passionate about the intersection between sustainability and business, and I've participated in both the NICE and FIIT programs over the past year. Outside of school, I love playing/watching soccer, traveling the world, and spending quality time with friends. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions, or if you just wanna run a game of spikeball!
Zhong Ke Lu
Treasurer
Hey everyone! I’m a junior pursuing concentrations in Finance and Data Science and a minor in Public Policy & Management. I joined Net Impact freshman fall as I was fascinated by the intersection between business and impact - how the two areas can complement each other to maximise their returns. I am from Singapore, and served two years in the military as an Air Warfare officer. Outside of school, I love bouldering (always looking for new climbing buddies!), food, and coffee brewing. Reach out to chat about any of the above or anything really!
Kriti Kaushal
Community Co-Director
Hey everyone! I’m a sophomore studying Finance and Management with a minor in Social Entrepreneurship. During my freshman year, I joined Net Impact due to my passion for leveraging businesses to drive social change. However, the welcoming community I’ve found is what has motivated my continued involvement! In my free time you can find me watching basketball, listening to music, or finding a new coffee spot in the city. Feel free to reach out to chat about anything!
Marketing
Julia Li
Co-Marketing Director
Hi friends! I'm a junior studying Economics in CAS with a minor in Math and Computer Science. I grew up in Toronto, Beijing, and Massachusetts, and speak both Mandarin and English (still working on Spanish). I joined NICE my sophomore spring because I wanted to learn more about sustainability and ESG through the lens of a consultant. Outside of school, I do a bit of product marketing, modeling, love cooking/baking, and write reviews about restaurants in the city. Feel free to contact me any time for a chat or questions!
Sarina Uttamchandani
Co-Marketing Director
Hello! I’m Sarina, and I’m a freshman in the B.S. in Business program at Stern. Although I was born in Tokyo, I’ve spent most of my life in Singapore. Growing up there, I was fascinated with business and social impact, continuously finding ways to bring both these passions together. When I arrived at NYU, this made Net Impact the perfect opportunity and community for me! In my free time, I love exploring anything related to tennis, travel, home design, or learning languages. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m always up for a chat!
Net Impact Consulting Experience (NICE)
Derek Shiu
Director of NICE
Hey yall! I am a Junior at NYU Stern studying Finance and Management and I am originally from Southern California. After attending the first couple Net Impact meetings, I was immediately drawn to the club because of the vibrant culture and the club's mission to teach sustainable business through the perspective of successful business leaders that care about ESG values. In my free time I love to play basketball, find the tastiest restaurants in New York City, and play all sorts of boardgames with my friends. Feel free to reach out if you want to learn more about the club or just want to chat!
Tanisha Vashishtha
External Lead
Hey everyone! I'm a sophomore studying Economics, Maths and Business Studies at CAS. I was born in India, spent most of my life in Hong Kong, and the last few years in Toronto. I joined Net Impact as a freshman because of my interest in corporate sustainability as a function of a business, and I stayed because of the lovely community we've created. Outside of school, you'll probably find me swimming, watching Bollywood movies, cooking, or eating some good food. I'm always keen to chat, no matter the topic, so please feel free to reach out!
Chanhee Kwak
Internal Lead
Yo! I am a sophomore studying Management and Sustainable business with a minor in Social Entrepreneurship! I am from an abundance of nature in a little suburb in Washington State, which I always miss. I joined Net impact because I am super interested in socially responsible firms because I hope to be a part of one some day. I later realized that the community and genuine friends is what really stuck out while being a part of this club. Aside from school stuff, I love running distance, playing basketball/spikeball, exploring new restaurants and cuisines, and having philosophical life conversations! Regardless of reason, reach out!
Finance Industry Impact Team (FIIT)
Harrison Liu
Director of FIIT
Hey everyone! My name is Harrison, and I’m a Junior at Stern studying Finance and Marketing. I joined Net Impact in my Freshman Spring because I volunteered a lot in high school. I love to rock climb and play tennis and pretty much anything outdoors! Let me know if you have any questions or just wanna talk.
Sandro Frias
Director of FIIT
Hey everyone! I'm a sophomore studying Finance and Sustainable Business. I explored my interest in sustainability through a business club I co-founded in high school, and I joined Net Impact, along with FIIT, to further explore this growing field. I’ve really enjoyed meeting the people in this welcoming community, as well as the financial knowledge I’ve gained. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing lacrosse, going to the gym, listening to music (I’m a big Kendrick fan), and going to comedy clubs with my friends.
Rachel Zhang

Hi! I’m Rachel and I’m a first-year in Stern studying Finance and Statistics with a joint minor in Computer Science and Math. I’m from Connecticut and joined FIIT last semester after growing interested in social responsibility through Clean The World, a non-profit that recycles hotel soaps. I skated super competitively for over eight years and now love coaching kids each winter, reading memoirs, and baking birthday cakes. I really enjoy hearing different people’s stories and am more than happy to chat!
