Chris Castro

I've spent the last 18 years working to develop organizations, public policy, and a diversity set of projects that advance regenerative futures and meaningful climate action. I'm currently the CSO at Climate First Bank. Prior to this role I served as a presidential appointee for the Biden-Harris administration at the U.S. Department of Energy, and before as the Chief Sustainability & Resilience Officer for the City of Orlando, Florida. My career also includes entrepreneurship endeavors such as founding the eco-action nonprofit org, IDEAS For Us, and an urban farming enterprise, Fleet Farming.
