Mia is a Partner at Lowercarbon Capital, where she invests in unreasonably ambitious teams building climate tech that will move the needle for the planet and its people.
Lowercarbon companies rely upon her extensive climate science, engineering, and organizational operations experience as they scale.
Mia also focuses on making sure this work is carried out inclusively and equitably, and that it benefits the communities who will be affected first and worst by rising temperatures, in spite of the fact that they bear the least responsibility for this state of affairs.
Prior to joining Lowercarbon, Mia designed decarbonization strategies for some of the world’s largest corporations and investment firms.
As a core member of TPG’s internal climate and impact team, Y Analytics, Mia spearheaded decarbonization strategy across a portfolio of over $90B in assets under management.
She developed and kicked off the execution of the firm’s first comprehensive climate roadmap—spanning assessment of operational and financed emissions, portfolio company engagement on emissions reduction, and segmentation of the portfolio by climate-related risk—and advised portfolio companies on climate risk, emissions reduction, and ESG strategy.
At TPG, she also led impact assessment for the earliest investment considerations for the firm’s budding $5B+ climate-focused fund, TPG Rise Climate, and was instrumental to the development of the fund’s climate impact assessment methodology.
Mia holds a B.S.
in Science, Technology, and Society, with a focus on Environment & Sustainability, and an M.S.
in Civil Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Atmosphere and Energy—both from Stanford University.
