‘The best time to invest is now’ - Sylvera COO Adrienne Gormley on net-zero targets

The Dubliner, appointed COO of London-based carbon data firm Sylvera, says there is a commercial and moral imperative in climate investment

Growing up, Adrienne Gormley didn’t have a particular “grá” or inclination towards any one career path. But she was drawn to tech in the same way that she was always attracted to problems that needed solving.

That instinct, Gormley tells the Business Post, made a move into climate tech the most natural step for her as the business world began to wake up to the reality of net-zero targets.

Gormley was appointed chief operating officer of Sylvera, the London-based carbon data provider, in February.
