Isabelle Smith brings an unusually hands-on background for a climate investor, having previously led engineering net-zero work at AtkinsRéalis/SNC-Lavalin and co-founded Decarbonomics, with deep ties to building decarbonization, transport, and airport sustainability, plus standard-setting roles like founding LETI and involvement with the UK Net Zero Building Design Standard, UK FIRES, and the UK Green Building Council. She also frames her climate work around the business case for decarbonization rather than only the environmental case, combines UK net-zero roots with newer experience in Canada, has judged the Ontario Embodied Carbon Awards, and writes more broadly about systems thinking and resilience through her blog, The Panthalassan.
