I co-founded and led Althelia (2011-2020), a fund management company specialising in impact investing and the sustainable management of nature. Within Althelia, we co-designed and launched multiple funds making international investments to finance the transition towards sustainable use of land and maritime spaces. Before creating Althelia, Christian helped create and lead the climate finance and markets activity of BNP Paribas – Corporate Investment Banking (2005-2011) where he was instrumental in the innovation and development of trading and structuring financing of climate projects.
Currently, acting on my own behalf, I have founded and/or support a number of initiatives in the climate and natural capital space, including Colibri Catalyst, a not-for-profit blended finance structure aimed at leveraging additional private finance for funds and activities that finance restorative and regenerative agriculture and ecosystem conservation. I am also working alongside Camco as a non-exec on new blended finance platforms in Aus/NZ and South Pacific. Independently I also act as an advisor in the natural capital and climate finance space on specific engagements.
