Tom Green, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
When Tom graduated with a biology degree before the turn of the millennium, it was already clear that the climate was heading for a crisis. Over a 20-year career in various leadership roles at Capital One, Lending Club, Bain & Company, and Averon, he learned how to manage teams and deliver results. Finally, with an exceptional set of skills gained in this career, he rediscovered his true passion: bringing a scalable way to meet the challenges of the climate crisis. Tom holds a BA in Biological Sciences from Oxford University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
