Meet Pierre Lorinet, Founder of the Lorinet Foundation.

We recently talked with Pierre Lorinet, founder of the Lorinet Foundation, which focuses on supporting pioneering, impactful, and sustainable initiatives that promote education, employment, and access to clean water and energy for vulnerable communities in Mongolia, South East Asia, and France.

Pierre is a French national who has spent most of his life and career abroad. After a 20-year career in banking and commodity trading he decided to take a step back from his executive career in 2015 to spend more time with his family and focus on other interests. One of them is expanding the work of the Lorinet Foundation with his wife and children.

Beyond his work with his foundation, Pierre remains active as a Non-Executive Director for various businesses, agencies, and philanthropic organizations such as COFCO International Ltd, Trafigura Group, Enterprise Singapore, Trafigura Foundation, Pioneer Facility Pte Ltd, Tri-Sector Associates and a number of technology Start-ups. Pierre is a graduate of ESCP Europe, a French business school, and has an MSc in Finance from Lancaster University. He lives in Singapore.

In this edition of Dialogue with a Difference, Pierre shares with us how values drive his philanthropic engagement and highlights how he drives affordable access to clean energy through his foundation.

We believe a legacy is built over a lifetime; it’s defined by how we spend our time and who we spend it with. The UBS Philanthropy Services series, Living your Legacy, aims to educate and inspire clients around philanthropy topics by featuring engaging conversations with individuals, families and institutions who are “living their legacies” with intention.
