Fernando Gutierrez-Eddy
With a career geared to financing gender equality and children’s capacity to lead safe and productive lives, in both UNICEF and UN Women, I partner with early-stage companies, principally in the US, that want to create sustainable solutions at scale for improved human dignity and productivity, with a focus on technology, as applied to life sciences, climate action, and human connectivity.
During close to 20 years at the UN, I raised over $2.5 billion from the public and private sectors. I am particularly interested in innovative business solutions at scale that leverage technology for the NOW and HERE to tackle significant societal and environmental pain points. Profitability within an adequate payback period is critical as a factor of sustainability. Positive early customer traction and retention is elemental.
Most important, I look for a passionate leadership team with traction in the start-up world. I welcome the opportunity to advise, especially on how to achieve sustainable social impact and bring tangible solution to the climate action agenda. I also leverage my network of likeminded investors to broaden support, including VCs, family offices, sovereign funds, accelerators, angel groups, and ultra/high net worth individuals.
