Carbon Removal, Program Manager at Microsoft
Berkeley, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoss Bernet is a senior program manager specializing in carbon removal and the intersection of finance, nature, and technology, currently buying removal for Microsoft after a decade-plus career in geospatial and forestry programs. He blends hands-on field experience—from managing large reforestation efforts in Haiti and global monitoring for One Tree Planted—to technical leadership running geospatial software projects and teaching web mapping at university level. Ross designs monitoring strategies that combine drones, satellite remote sensing, and on-the-ground methods to quantify nature-based outcomes and de-risk carbon investments. His background in project management, conservation science (Yale MEM), and civic geospatial engineering enables him to translate complex environmental data into actionable corporate strategy. Based in Berkeley, he’s as comfortable directing a 12-person field team as coordinating cross-functional corporate procurement to scale credible carbon finance.
