About Us

It will take investment, international cooperation, and innovation to build ecosphere security for the future. We work across that spectrum of opportunity with partners in business, governance, and non-profits.

She has also served in the U.S. government in Congress, the State Department, and the Pentagon, most recently as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy.
