Christopher Brown moved from commodities trading at places like Goldman Sachs and SSE into climate finance, then climate tech deals, venture investing, and now carbon project investing, and he currently balances two roles at once—Head of Supply & Principal Investments at Rubicon Carbon and Venture Partner at Contrarian Ventures—that put him closer to actual carbon project financing than most climate investors. He focuses on funding the early building stage of carbon projects rather than just investing once they're already running, and he thinks about carbon markets from a buyer's point of view, arguing that people selling carbon credits need to understand what different buyers are actually looking for.
