Paolo Fresia
Paolo invests his capital and advises other institutions and individuals on how to activate their resources to generate positive impact.
His thematic focus is on:
1) Mitigating climate change;
2) Promoting sustainable production and consumption, and
3) Reducing gender and LGBTQI+ inequalities.
Paolo invests across all asset classes, mainly through specialized fund managers. He is a member of Toniic and its 100% Network, and was a founding donor to the Centre for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth at the University of Zurich.
Through the Guerrilla Foundation and GiveOut , he philanthropically supports grassroots activism to more radically question the root causes of our ecological, social, and democracy crises.
Prior to 100% Sustainability, he worked as a bond trader for Goldman Sachs, as CFO for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti, and as a business and human rights consultant for Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) in Hong Kong. He holds a Master in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, an M.Phil in Development from Cambridge, and a B.A. in Philosophy and Economics from University College London.
He lives in London with his husband, two children, and dog. He is passionate about adventure travel, sailing, swimming, scuba diving, skiing, Ayurveda, and cooking.
