and enterprises
Aspiration, a global leader in Sustainability as a Service
solutions for consumers and companies, today announced the
appointment of Olivia Albrecht as the company’s new Chief
Sustainability Officer. Albrecht will head the Sustainability
group, including the carbon markets desk, to design and execute
innovative action programs and strategies for businesses and
people.
“Olivia is joining Aspiration at a pivotal moment in time when
the topic of climate change has become central to consumers and
businesses,” said Andrei Cherny, CEO and co-founder of Aspiration.
“She is a powerhouse in sustainable finance and will make a strong
addition to our leadership bench as we focus on scaling our
sustainability team during this hyper-growth stage.”

experience to the position, having previously spent 10 years at
investment management firm PIMCO and then most recently at The TCW
Group as the Global Head of ESG. At PIMCO, she was the Head of ESG
Business Strategy helping to lead a diverse and integrated set of
over 50 investment professionals.
“The carbon credit markets are poised to play an increasingly
important role in corporate strategy, capital allocation and
consumer engagement as the world presses forward into climate
action,” said Albrecht. “Aspiration is uniquely positioned to help
steer capital toward high quality, nature-based projects to
generate environmental, societal and economic returns for
enterprises and people.”
Aspiration’s Sustainability as a Service solutions empowers
consumers and businesses into climate action through the carbon
credit market in ways that are automated, simple, and enormously
powerful. So far, seven million consumer members have joined the
movement, while major partnerships with organizations including the
LA Clippers, Boston Red Sox, Deloitte, Lime, and more demonstrate
that people are eager to incorporate climate action and
high-quality carbon credits into their daily lives and business
models.

accounting software platform Persefoni and is involved with several
geospatial data companies focused on satellite imagery in tracking,
monitoring, and analyzing sustainability risks. She also serves on
