- Business
Alex Laplaza, Principal at Lowercarbon Capital, joins Sheiny to discuss his passion and dedication to accelerate global decarbonization and scaling climate change solutions across power, agriculture, transportation, industry, and beyond. We go into depth behind his love for travel and service which ultimately unleashed his curiosity on understanding how to analyze climate solutions. We discuss the work he's done to accelerate clean energy access and deployment in emerging markets, including South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. We go deeper into his Fulbright Scholarship in rural Indonesia researching the nexus of climate resilience, energy access, and food and water security at the frontlines of climate change while also getting an understanding as to why he wanted to get involved with a VC firm, in Lowercarbon Capital, instead of doing more policy work around climate solutions.
Beyond the Profile is a podcast where we discuss hard-hitting career stories with professionals of all ages. We’re looking to get into the nitty gritty when it comes to breaking down our guests' career paths, why did they choose the industry/company they work for, where did their passions come from, and what are they looking to do to make a difference in the future for the work they’re involved in. This is a chance for all of us to learn and potentially implement how these guests go about their business, decision-making, and ultimately how they found a love for their craft.
