The energy transition runs on new energy, innovation and critical minerals.

Iwona Kerr

I think in systems. Where others see a single deal, I see how capital, technology, policy and people connect, and where one well-placed investment can shift the whole system. The opportunities Kerr Nexus brings forward reflect that lens.

That perspective was shaped by twenty years at Citigroup and BlackRock, latterly as a BlackRock Director managing a large EMEA institutional client book. I know what makes an investor lean in, and what makes them walk away.

Today I am a Venture Partner at Energy Mix Ventures and an active angel investor in deep tech founders rebuilding the systems we all rely on, so that growth no longer comes at the expense of people or the planet. I also serve as an advisor, non-executive director and board observer to a number of companies and projects.

Inclusive leadership is the other half of the equation, because systems only change when the people leading them do. Having studied Business Sustainability Management at Cambridge, I contribute to Oxford Saïd Business School's executive leadership and Sustainable Corporation programmes. I see opportunities others miss, and I am always looking for the next connection worth making.
