Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont brings an unusual background to climate investing, having worked in commodities at Merrill Lynch and operationally at a climatetech startup before joining Extantia Capital, where she focuses on hard-science industrial decarbonisation solutions rather than software-based climate investments. She leads Extantia's UK operations while remaining connected to the Berlin-based fund, and frames her investment approach around backing founders who can build gigacorns—companies capable of cutting gigatonnes of CO₂ at massive scale.
