Quick facts below, reach out if anything seems curious!
Currently consulting for startups, banks, corporates on sustainability & expansion strategies while writing weekly Climate Tech VC newsletter.
Prior, launched an ESG fund, wrote a book (Revolutions in Sustainable Investing), and co-founded a sustainable agriculture company, Kula Bio, making nitrogen fertilizer using microbes.
orever Bain & Co. recovering management consultant - happy to share the thought process of transitioning from consulting to startups (and back again as my own boss!) I got here on the backs of many, many generous mentors and love paying it back (forward?!)
Fun fact: I'm a huge dog person (raised service dogs), bonus points for trading dog pics
Currently obsessed with the carbon capture and the offset market (observation: seem essential, yet underserved?) I'm in the early innings of setting up a carbon offset fund to invest in nascent climate technologies. If you have any experience in that world, shoot me a note!
