About Aneri
Aneri is an award-winning climate and clean energy ecosystem builder, with extensive experience in driving transformative solutions across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Silicon Valley. She is the Co-Founder and Partner at Klimatic Group, a firm that accelerates climate technology deployments within the EU. As the founder of ENVenture, Africa's largest energy access accelerator, she spearheaded innovative efforts that brought clean energy to over 150,000 people in rural communities by strengthening community-based distribution models. ENVenture was acquired by New Energy Nexus (NEX), where she served as a Board member and later as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing global programs, strategic planning, and organizational culture driving inclusive internal policies for 170 staff.
With a deep commitment to addressing the intersection of climate change, gender, and energy access, Aneri has worked at the forefront of building sustainable, inclusive ecosystems.

She built a network of 3,000 energy access practitioners with the UN, operationalized Meta’s Social Innovation Lab in partnership with the U.S. Government and MIT Media Lab, and connected over 1,000 clean energy businesses globally through New Energy Nexus. Additionally, she has advised numerous climate and energy startups.
A systems thinker, Aneri believes that a thriving, supportive environment for underrepresented entrepreneurs is essential for technological breakthroughs to succeed at scale. As a sought-after speaker and writer, she frequently advocates for the role of women in climate action, leveraging their untapped potential to drive the solutions we need.

Aneri's expertise and methodological skills as a startup coach have been very valuable to me over the past year. She has provided key concepts and training in group coachings and in 1:1 sessions that have helped me sharpen the purpose of our technology, the user interaction and business plan.

Aneri delivered an outstanding workshop for first-time green entrepreneurs from the BeVisioneers Fellowship. It is difficult to deliver quality content with a group this diverse (from NGOs in Canada to social business in Chile and for profit in Kenya) but this one truly stood out for its quality, clarity, and practicality. She broke down information in a way that felt accessible and immediately actionable. Her facilitation was thoughtful and inclusive, with space for questions and peer sharing, and the structure (including breakout discussions) made the content feel relevant no matter what stage participants were at. The feedback survey responses were extremely high. I would heartily recommend Aneri as a workshop facilitator and expert for any Entrepreneur Support Organization!

Aneri’s workshop “Every Job is a Green Job”, delivered as part of our Environment InDay, was highly insightful and deeply inspirational, helping participants understand in very practical terms how sustainability and environmental responsibility can be embedded into any role, regardless of function or seniority. Aneri struck a rare balance between strategic perspective and hands-on application, making the topic both accessible and immediately relevant. What truly set the workshop apart were the interactive, hands-on activities, which encouraged reflection, discussion, and concrete action. The feedback from attendees was outstanding across the board.
