Kerry joins billionaire investor, high-dollar donor Tom Steyer's clean-energy investment firm

Biden administration climate envoy John Kerry has joined billionaire investor Tom Steyer's so-called clean- or sustainable-energy investing firm.

The 80-year-old Kennedy was also a senator, Democratic presidential nominee and Obama administration secretary of state. 

Kerry left  the Biden administration in early 2024 after more than three years of asking countries to address global warming, according to Bloomberg News. 

He will be co-executive chairman of Galvanize Climate Solutions, co-founded by Steyer, according to a statement Monday. 

Steyer, who made a reported $3.5 million in political contributions in the 2022 election cycle, writes on his LinkedIn page: "Sec. Kerry is joining Galvanize Climate Solutions because he shares the firm’s conviction that climate is good business and delivers something that the market demands - solutions, products, and services that are cheaper, better, and faster than those they replace."
