On her most recent appointment, Adrienne said: “I am thrilled to announce that I have joined the incredible team at Sylvera! As a pioneering company, Sylvera is a trusted partner of corporations and governments, making it easy for them to engage with the carbon markets as part of their net zero journeys.
I’m honoured and humbled to be a part of this journey and contribute my skills to have a meaningful impact.”
Adrienne has enjoyed a stellar career in scaling software SaaS companies, including Google, Dropbox, and N26. Her career “has equipped me well for this next move,” she admitted.
“Adrienne’s background in both operations and delivery of core commercial and strategic initiatives, scaling some of the biggest companies in tech, will help drive Sylvera’s continued expansion,” acknowledged CEO Allister Furey.
