We had the chance to catch up with David Mazaira, a friend of mine (David) from childhood and that has successfully made the transition from a direct O&G job (he was a Process Engineer in Repsol) to a role as Carbon Impact Specialist in an asset management firm in Switzerland.

We discussed #ClimateFinance, #ESG, #ImpactInvesting and the main difference among those two. We learnt about responsAbility, its criteria to invest and three main thesis. We also discussed the main perceived risks in emerging countries and how to navigate them. Finally we touched on the role of technology and how it will be key in the accounting and monitoring of GHG emissions. #Satellites, #drones, #blockchain, all in the episode!

If you prefer, you could give it a listen in our first ever Spanish episode where Daniel and I dissected and deconstructed Impact Investment with the help of David
