Francesca Whitehead

It’s clear sustainability is a huge priority for global businesses. How to get there? That’s not always so clear. Francesca Whitehead has become a go-to investor in the climate space, backing firms that create tech to help businesses and consumers cut down on emissions. She led G2VP’s investment in Pivot Bio, maker of a nitrogen-free fertilizer, and Trove, a sustainable B2B fashion platform. Whitehead was first drawn to working in the climate space growing up in Hong Kong and Vietnam and seeing the tangible impact of global warming during typhoon season. Her unique perspective as a young, biracial immigrant helps her spot investment opportunities and founders others might miss. As of November 2022, she is a VP at Fifth Wall, a sustainable real estate investing firm.
