Adiari Vazquez has joined US-listed online retailer Amazon’s sustainability-focused corporate venturing unit as an investment manager.
At Amazon’s $2bn Climate Pledge Fund, Adiari said in her LinkedIn profile she was “investing to bend Amazon’s carbon emissions curve”.
She had previously spent a year as a UK-based associate at Next47, a corporate venture capital vehicle owned by Germany-headquartered industrial equipment and appliance producer Siemens, before leaving in 2020 to set up Braver Ventures.
Vazquez had earlier been a Portugal-based investment manager at Caixa Capital, the corporate venturing fund operated by financial services firm Caixa Geral de Depósitos, for more than three years having joined in late 2015, and oversaw early-stage deals in smart energy and materials.
