A proven systems thinker and reformer, Paul Moinester specializes in creating and implementing groundbreaking solutions to the systemic problems driving the environmental crisis. Fueled by his passion for diving deep into overlooked issues and his conviction that any problem can be overcome, Paul has built his career solving daunting challenges others miss or are unwilling to undertake. This professional journey has spanned countless issues and ecosystems – from the halls of Congress where Paul served as a senior congressional aid to the salmon rivers of remote Alaska where he worked to protect imperiled communities and natural resources.
After spending years researching the systemic challenges inhibiting the impact of the environmental community, Paul founded TOPO, an innovation hub for breakthrough ideas. As TOPO’s Executive Director, Paul spends every day developing solutions designed to reform the systems of power that will determine our collective future.
Recognizing that no system is more ripe for environmental reform than the financial system, Paul is spearheading the development of numerous TOPO initiatives that harness the untapped power of consumers to transform the financial sector into an engine for environmental progress. This portfolio of initiatives, which has established TOPO as a climate finance leader, includes efforts such as pioneering groundbreaking research on the hidden climate impact of corporate cash and investments, which Bill McKibben has called, "the most important set of climate numbers I've come across in decades."
