What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Everyone in the climate tech industry is trying to make a positive impact, no matter where they sit in the ecosystem. All the different stakeholders I get to work with, from folks at corporate organizations, startups, VCs, independent investors, and mentors, are working on tackling climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They approach this from very different perspectives sometimes.
Because that positive impact is undergirding everything we're working on, the vibe is generally pretty positive and collaborative, which I really like. It is a collaborative industry, and that makes it really fun to work in this field.
