We’re excited to share some big news: Climate Vault Solutions welcomed a new CEO in early September.

Kyle brings with him a wealth of experience at the intersection of carbon markets, climate technology, and entrepreneurship. He has spent his career building climate solutions that scale with integrity, a mission that perfectly aligns with our work at Climate Vault Solutions.

A Proven Leader in Climate Markets

Most recently, Kyle served as Head of Carbon Business Development at Windfall Bio, a nature-based agtech company converting methane emissions into organic fertilizer, where he built the carbon business and commercialized breakthrough methane mitigation technology into high-integrity credits following a $28M Series A supported by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund.

Before that, Kyle was Head of U.S. Supply at Carbonfuture, where he worked with carbon removal developers to bring projects to market. Kyle and his team helped secure over a megaton in carbon removal offtake agreements with global leaders like Microsoft and SwissRe, deals that helped scale a diverse portfolio of next-generation carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects and drove Carbonfuture’s rise as the world’s leading carbon removal marketplace.

Kyle also co-founded the Green Gas Movement, where he launched the world’s first climate-positive debit card, enabling everyday consumers to offset their emissions automatically at the point of purchase. His work with Green Gas earned him recognition at the United Nations, MIT Solve, and Forbes 30 Under 30. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of BluSky Carbon, a publicly traded carbon removal company, and has been honored as both an Echoing Green Climate Fellow and MIT Solve Fellow.

Why Kyle, Why Now

Over the past few years, Climate Vault Solutions has made important strides, including:

  • Securing a $9.4 million Series A funding round to accelerate innovation and scale impact.
  • Being trusted by dozens of leading organizations, including Morningstar, Tripadvisor, and Danfoss, as a partner in credible climate action
  • Preventing an estimated $300 million in averted climate damages through verified emissions reductions
  • Expanding the CDR portfolio by welcoming our first two suppliers, Carbon Lockdown and Octavia Carbon

Now, with Kyle’s leadership, we are ready to build on that foundation and take the next step:

  • Expanding access for voluntary buyers to compliance-grade tons
  • Growing our portfolio of innovative carbon removal projects vetted through the Tech Chamber
  • Ensuring integrity and transparency remain at the center of carbon action

As Kyle put it:

“I’ve dedicated my career to building climate solutions that scale with integrity, and I’ve long admired Climate Vault Solutions’ work. With already more than a megaton of climate impact delivered and a world-class team in place, we’re well positioned to deliver the government-backed impact that compliance markets provide, alongside a growing portfolio of high-integrity carbon removal projects. I’m thrilled to join the team and work with our partners to accelerate climate action at a moment when the world needs it most.”

Looking Ahead

Kyle joins Climate Vault Solutions at a pivotal moment for climate action. The urgency of reducing and removing carbon has never been greater, and organizations are looking for solutions that are credible, immediate, and scalable. With Kyle leading the charge, we are better positioned than ever to meet that need.

We’re thrilled to welcome Kyle to the team and we’re excited to share more about his vision in the weeks and months ahead. Have a question for Kyle? Let us know at kyle@climatevault.com
