Our Team - Redwood Grove Capital

Greg Serrurier

MBA, CFA, Founding Partner

"My desire to bridge environmental risk and opportunity with investing stems from the Greek word “oikos,” the root word for both ecology and economics. It meant “hearth and home”. Our society must link these two words which have been too far separated for too long."

Greg's unlikely career started at a climate non-profit, Friends of the Earth. A chance decision to attend business school led Greg to a career in investing at Dodge & Cox, where he served as Sr. Vice President, Portfolio Manager on the investment committee of the US Equity, International Equity, and Balanced Fund, responsible for investing over $120 billion of assets. During his 30+ year career at Dodge & Cox, the firm grew from $3 billion to $150 billion in AUM. Greg's career as an investor has brought him full circle to his environmental roots. Greg is on the board of NextGen Climate America and Earthjustice where he is the chair of the Investment Committee and serves on the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee. He is a Limited Partner in a number of climate-focused private equity funds. Greg earned a bachelor of science in biology from Oregon State University and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Ted Roosevelt V

MSM, Founding Partner

"I was first introduced to climate change in the late 80's, when my parents started talking about it at dinner. At the time it was a niche idea, rarely mentioned outside of environmental circles. But climate change is now impacting our world and economy. Investors with medium to long term outlooks can no longer ignore its impacts."

Ted co-founded Redwood Grove Capital on the belief that capital markets remain the most powerful driver of change. Prior to Redwood Grove Capital, Ted was a managing director at GoldenTree Asset Management, a hedge fund specializing in high-yield, distressed, and structured credit investments. From 2001 to 2010, Ted worked as a senior vice president in Lehman Brothers' and Barclays Capital's Distressed Research and Leverage Finance Groups. Ted is on the National Board of Trust for Public Land, and a Trustee at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. He also serves on the President’s Council of the Woodwell Climate Research Center, and Stanford Graduate School of Business's Racial Equity Task Force. He has a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Princeton University and a Master of Science in Management from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
