Tisha Schuller and Kelsey Grant welcome Alexia Kelly, managing director of the Carbon Policy and Markets Initiative at the High Tide Foundation, to the Energy Thinks podcast. Listeners will hear Alexia cover how carbon offsets—although controversial—can be an important part of a company’s decarbonization strategy.

In her role at the High Tide Foundation, Alexia serves on the board of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market. Before her start at the foundation, she was the Director of Net Zero + Nature at Netflix. Prior to serving in leadership positions at ENGIE Impact and Electric Capital Management, Alexia was a senior climate change advisor at the U.S. Department of State. Her early work in the offset space consisted of serving as a senior associate for the World Resources Institute Climate and Energy Program and as the policy program manager for Climate Trust. Alexia has an MPA in climate change mitigation policy and a master’s and bachelor’s in public policy and management from the University of Oregon.
