Ade Jimoh
London, UK
I'm Ade, an investment professional and writer based in London. My work spans climate-focused private capital, infrastructure, and strategy, with experience across impact investing, management consulting at BCG, and board-level governance. I've led end-to-end deal execution, built strategy and financial frameworks for global organisations, and developed investment theses across global markets.
I'm also deeply interested in how AI is reshaping finance, climate, and the future of work, and I write about all of it in AJ Notes, my bi-weekly newsletter at the intersection of climate, finance & AI.
I believe information is still too contained within echo chambers. The work I do, investing, writing, speaking, is about making sure the right conversations reach the right people.
