20+ years in climate solutions with a distinct focus on finance and market-based solutions. Within my varied career, I've designed state-based financing programs, integrated 3rd party capital into utility rebate programs, and developed nature-positive investment portfolios for family offices. Over the past 4 years I've served as Head of Growth for Open Forest Protocol where we take a uniquely scalable approach to dMRV and credit issuance that also improves credit quality. My goal is to raise awareness of our disruptive technology within the VCM and drive widespread adoption so that we can move away from exclusive, expensive, and slow registries. We are now issuing our first assets from our Afforestation methodology into the market. Let's go!
