About the Team
Laszlo Giricz Founder / Strategy Lead Before his emergence as a leader in eco-focused technologies, Laszlo served for nearly two decades as a business and technology expert for some of the world’s largest investment banks. His clients, including JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and UBS, enjoyed the results of his ability to develop and integrate custom trading and risk management solutions that were used in some of their most critical business sectors.
His experience in these arenas, coupled with his keen interests in nature, technology and climate change, gave birth to reduce: the platform revolutionising the world’s carbon markets by lowering barriers of entry and making the trading of carbon credits accessible. Laszlo’s goal is to allow anyone, from governments to retail consumers, to safely and efficiently access the carbon markets and take control of their climate impact. https://www.linkedin.com/in/laszlogiricz
