Rodi Guidero

Managing Partner and Executive Director, Breakthrough Energy Ventures

About

Rodi Guidero positions climate investing as requiring development and deployment in the Global South rather than just rich countries, explicitly shifting Breakthrough's attention and capital toward emerging markets like India and parts of Africa as a strategic priority. He operates across Breakthrough Energy's different programs—Ventures, Catalyst, and Fellows—stitching together grantmaking, project finance, and venture capital for single companies or projects, while serving as a catalytic partner who brings airlines, ship owners, and fuel producers to the same table for multi-party commercial pilots.
