I have the occasional interesting thing to say about our world, climate, tech, and personal growth (and travails). Plus year-end top ten books lists! And, if you can find it, some music.
Who am I?
I am a recovering New Yorker who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Something about most of my interests can be found scattered across these pages.
I am the co-founder of Amasia, a venture capital firm with offices in the Bay Area and Singapore. I invest in companies that help fight the climate crisis and enhance sustainability, through behavior change. I’ve written a book on my personal journey of revelation about the climate crisis. And my firm offers a course on behavior change for climate founders.
I serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania and as Chair of the Board of Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences. I serve on the Advisory Council of the Natural Capital Project at Stanford University. I serve on the board of Goodwill San Francisco Bay. I have been the seed funder and board member of several NGOs over the years including Magic Bus, an NGO that works with 500,000 at-risk children in South Asia.
A (slightly) lengthier bio can be found here.
And here is a bonus photo of my neurotic pooch, Rio:
