Tom Steyer, Co-founder of Galvanize, on Ambitious Climate Solutions

Investor, activist, and former presidential candidate Tom Steyer joined SPC for a fireside chat as part of our New American Frontier speaker series.

Tom is a successful investor, business leader, philanthropist and activist who is focused on solutions to the climate crisis. He recently co-founded Galvanize, an investment firm dedicated to accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy.

In 1986, Tom founded Farallon Capital Management, a San Francisco-based hedge fund that pioneered the multi-strategy approach to investing. Over the decades as he led Farallon, Tom grew the firm’s assets under management to $40 billion and consistently delivered double digit returns.

In 2019, Tom ran for President, making climate change his number one priority. He later co-chaired the Biden-Harris Campaign’s Climate Engagement Advisory Council.
