Keeling Capital, a Dublin-based investment firm focused on climate tech and sustainability-driven alternative investments, has appointed Joanna Rupp as a Senior Advisor, marking a strategic hiring aimed at enhancing the firm’s investment insight and institutional reach. The move brings Rupp’s decades of experience in private markets and endowment investing to support Keeling Capital’s mission to back climate-aligned venture and private equity strategies. Rupp spent 13 years at the University of Chicago Endowment, where she led the private markets portfolio and helped steer allocations across venture capital, buyouts, real assets and emerging strategies expertise that is expected to bolster Keeling’s assessment of high-impact opportunities in climate tech and sustainable infrastructure. Her addition reflects a broader industry trend of asset allocators integrating deep investment expertise into specialized alternative investment firms, particularly those focused on climate and impact outcomes. Keeling Capital, named after the Keeling Curve of atmospheric carbon concentrations, invests with a focus on climate innovation and transition solutions that help institutional investors address both risk and opportunity tied to climate change. Rupp’s advisory role will involve supporting diligence processes, strategic positioning and expansion of Keeling’s network among global allocators and co-investors.
