Kelley is an interdisciplinary thinker excited about connecting the dots between technology, policy, and society to bring about change. As such, she spent years facilitating strategy and change processes at international organizations – on topics such as sustainable finance, climate justice, and intersectionality. These experiences as social impact consultant at Syspons got her hooked on both the people work involved in driving change and the analytical tools needed to make impact measurable. Before that, she gained experience at early-stage VC APX (now HEARTFELT_) and at climate finance think tank 2° Investing Initiative.

Kelley holds an M.Sc. in Management Science & Engineering (concentration in Energy and Environmental Policy) and a B.A. in Literature & Culture from Stanford University. She gains inspiration for her work by spending time in nature - taking solo journeys across mountain ranges, climbing on big rocks, or simply watching waves break in the sea.
