Tom Rand works in carbon mitigation, having left a successful career as a software entrepreneur. He is active in cleantech venture capital, technology incubation and commercialization, and public advocacy. Tom is managing partner of the privately backed $30 million MaRS Cleantech Fund and a senior advisor at the MaRS Discovery District; he also sits on the boards of several clean energy organizations. In 2011, Tom opened the Planet Traveler, a low-carbon hotel in downtown Toronto. He published his first book, Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: 10 Clean Technologies to Save Our World, in early 2010, and his second, Waking the Frog: Solutions for Our Climate Change Paralysis, earlier this year. He believes that we have yet to engage in a serious public conversation about climate change and the economic opportunities that a low-carbon economy will create. Tom holds a B.Sc. at the University of Waterloo, an M.Sc. at the University of London and LSE, and an M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Toronto. He is also an Action Canada fellow.
