Throughout his career, Lombardo has implemented tangible solutions to address and reduce climate risk, as well as other global challenges for investment managers in public and private markets.
In his most recent role, Lombardo built Kayne Anderson’s impact and sustainability strategy from the ground up. He developed processes and tools to evaluate sustainability risks (most notably climate, but also other related risks) within new investment opportunities and led the collection of impact and sustainability metrics throughout the life of an investment. He also elevated Kayne’s external profile by leading impact and sustainability reporting, participation in sustainability and climate initiatives and engagement with external stakeholders.
