GIGATONS Welcomes Bill Kentrup as Chief Investment Officer to Lead Capital Mobilization and Deployment for Climate Impact 

GIGATONS, a trailblazing climate technology and investment company, is proud to announce the appointment of Bill Kentrup as its new Chief Investment Officer (CIO). With a distinguished career spanning decades at the nexus of sustainability, infrastructure, and finance, Kentrup is uniquely positioned to drive GIGATONS’ mission of achieving gigaton-scale decarbonization through transformative investment strategies.  

A Catalyst for Capital and Climate Action 
Kentrup joins GIGATONS following his influential tenure at AllInfra, where he co-founded and led the company’s efforts to mobilize capital for sustainable infrastructure projects. At AllInfra, Kentrup pioneered the use of blockchain technology to bring transparency, traceability, and accountability to carbon markets and infrastructure financing. His innovative approach to integrating technology with capital solutions enabled the scaling of projects that significantly contributed to global climate goals. 

Before AllInfra, Kentrup held leadership roles at premier financial institutions, managing multibillion-dollar investment portfolios and designing scalable funding mechanisms for renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure. His career reflects a commitment to addressing one of the core trials of the transition era: deploying capital at a pace and scale that meets the urgency of the climate crisis. 

Meeting the Capital Challenge of the Transition Era 
At GIGATONS, Kentrup will oversee the investment strategy and operations of GIGACAPITAL, the company’s investment arm, which focuses on financing initiatives that deliver exponential impact in the fight against climate change. Recognizing that the world is grappling with a significant capital gap to meet its climate goals, Kentrup’s expertise in structuring investments and cultivating partnerships will be pivotal in ensuring GIGATONS can scale its capital deployment to unprecedented levels. 

“Bill’s career is a testament to the power of innovative finance to unlock climate solutions,” said Heston Harper, co-CEO of GIGATONS. “The transition era demands leaders who understand not only the scale of the challenge but also the opportunities inherent in aligning capital with impact. Bill is that leader, and we are thrilled to have him guide GIGACAPITAL’s mission.”
