Mobilizing resources for environmental change: reflections on a multi-sectoral career in pursuit of disruptive impact

Terry Kellogg ’94, P ‘24, ‘27 will return to campus for a conversation, moderated by Maeve Nolan ’25 (Economics major) and Santiago G. Canella ’25 (History major), about the pitfalls and opportunities of sustainable innovation. Terry is the Founder and Managing Director of Helios Climate Ventures, a technology focused venture fund where he prioritizes early-stage, high-potential transformative investment opportunities, which include water, solar and energy storage directly related to mitigating climate change. Earlier in his career, Terry ran the non-profit organization 1% for the Planet and the sustainability initiatives inside the publicly traded Timberland Company. 

Terry has worked, studied and invested at the intersection of business and environment for thirty years. His focus areas have included renewable energy, forestry, mining, and sustainable business practices writ large. The common threads through a multi-sectoral career are entrepreneurship, building, leveraging networks and mobilizing resources to impact positive environmental change.
