About Us
Laura Guzman - Founder
I am passionate about exploring how technology, policy, and market incentives are combined in ways that effectively reduce emissions globally. I bring over 30 years of experience in the environmental and technology sectors and has a successful track record of creating opportunities for businesses and advancing critical industry and government partnerships.
I have worked in international business development, cleantech, and climate policy beginning my career in the information and technology sector in Latin America where I successfully helped companies identify and penetrate new markets, and overcome commercialization and implementation barriers.
I have also led in the development and implementation of carbon-pricing policies and GHG emissions reduction programs. During my five years with the British Columbia Government Climate Action Secretariat, I worked closely with industry and the cleantech sector supporting the development of projects that have reduced carbon emissions and energy consumption. My work also included the provision of financial viability to early-stage cleantech companies and helping them successfully secure funding.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Finance in Mexico, a Masters of Environmental Geography, and a Graduate Degree in Science and Technology Commercialization, both from Simon Fraser University in Canada.
Tahra Jutt - Partner
I am a problem solver at heart, driven to advance innovation and cleantech businesses that make a meaningful difference for both people and the planet. My goal is to foster ecosystems where technologies, partnerships, and markets seamlessly align with policies and funding, accelerating sustainable solutions.
With 20 years of experience in clean technologies, low-carbon energy, government relations, climate policy, and regulatory affairs, I have actively worked to reduce barriers and create new market opportunities for low-carbon, heavy-duty transportation and alternative fuels. My expertise lies in navigating complex regulatory and policy landscapes for emerging clean technologies in Canada and the United States. I have advised governments at all levels on clean technologies, low-carbon fuel policies and programs, as well as funding and credit initiatives.
In addition to consulting clients, I have held leadership roles at the Pembina Institute and Westport Fuel Systems, where I have contributed to shaping policies, advancing clean technology adoption, and driving impactful change in the sector.
