The Next Frontier of Green Growth: Women Leading the Cleantech Transition

In 2018, Andreea took a sabbatical that changed her life. After more than 12 years in mainstream finance roles that saw her moving from New York to London, she received an opportunity to join a venture connecting her two passions: protecting the environment and investing. Looking back, she could never imagine that a time would come when it would be possible to align one’s career with their value set. Andreea believes that, increasingly, professionals across all sectors have a generational opportunity to transition their career without compromising on growth prospectives or financial rewards.

“Now is the time to do it. Cleantech is booming across all economic aspects and there is the ability to make a foundational contribution.” Andreea underlines the critical role of technology and private capital to enable the green transition. She notes that today, the intersection of three key megatrends: tech maturity; social, governmental and corporate demand for cleantech solutions; and pressing resource scarcity, make climate tech investable at scale, and, at above market returns.

As for the one technology that could save the world, Andreea believes it is the interplay of different technologies that have benefitted from significant advancements or economies of scale such as quantum computing, sensors, 3D manufacturing, and satellites, that drive real world solutions. When pressed to pick a single technology with the greatest ability to drive decarbonization, she is passionate about the potential of green hydrogen in green steel, green ammonia and synfuel for aviation, which is why Sunfire was her first investment at Planet First.
