As Green Alpha’s Chief Financial and Chief Compliance Officer, Jeremy oversees the company’s financial well-being and ensures the firm’s operations are in compliance with all regulatory rules and best practices. He is also a co-portfolio manager on all Green Alpha portfolios. Jeremy brought his impact investing expertise to Boulder in 2007, where he co-founded Green Alpha Advisors with Garvin Jabusch. Thinking more like a VC and scientist than a traditional public-equity manager, Jeremy understood the immense investment opportunity presented by the transition to a de-carbonized economy. The result was Next Economy investing—a method that aims to invest only in innovative solutions to system-level risks like climate change, never in their causes.

Garvin is the Chief Investment Officer for Green Alpha Advisors, where he leads investment research; conducts macroeconomic, scientific, and technological analysis; and develops and communicates the Next Economy investment approach. Prior to co-founding Green Alpha with Jeremy Deems in 2007, Garvin had realized that traditional investment methods constrained the opportunity to have impact and achieve long-term competitive returns. How could he invest in the leaders of tomorrow’s sustainable economy if they were limited to an index of the carbon economy’s winners? Together with Jeremy, Garvin decided to throw out the rule book, found Green Alpha, and begin investing in the Next Economy—a method that aims to invest only in innovative solutions to system-level risks like climate change, never in their causes.
