I'm Managing Director of Prime Impact Fund, where we fund breakthrough start-ups that could have a big impact on climate.

In past lives I learned venture capital at Venrock, co-founded and led Lux Research, developed energy and environmental projects in China at MNL Partners, and forecasted technology futures at Forrester.
