Peter Kelly is a seasoned impact investor with over a decade focused on private markets and climate solutions, now leading impact investing at the Waverley Street Foundation after a decade-plus role at Goldman Sachs. He blends direct venture and fund LP experience across asset classes with hands-on roots in climate policy, carbon offset development, and renewable project finance. His track record spans transactions in cleantech, renewable infrastructure, forest and farmland stewardship, and energy efficiency, advising foundations, family offices, and institutional clients.
