Trish Nixon

Executive in Residence

As Executive in Residence at PaceZero, Trish advises on climate-finance strategy and transactions, with a focus on structuring capital for early-deployment and commercialization-stage projects.

An experienced operator, investor, and project-finance leader, she co-led CoPower through its acquisition by Vancity, led Climate Finance at VCIB financing clean-energy and industrial decarbonization projects across Canada, and helped incubate the MaRS Catalyst Fund — now Amplify Capital, where she is a Venture Partner.

Trish now advises funds and founders navigating the “missing middle” in climate and clean infrastructure. She is a Clean50 Environmental Entrepreneur of the Year and holds a master’s in International Relations from the University of St. Andrews.
