Kerri Barnes has spent years building partner networks that unlock new markets and accelerate product adoption in SaaS, most recently at Akeneo and Klaviyo during its hypergrowth phase leading up to its 2023 IPO. Today she leads partnerships at Climate X, a climate risk intelligence company, expanding their global partner ecosystem so that organizations can build climate risk insights directly into the tools they use to make critical decisions.
"The Fellowship showed me how my experience in scaling partner ecosystems could meaningfully align with my long-term ambition to accelerate climate action. It deepened my systems-level understanding of climate challenge, sharpened my interest in climate adaptation, and highlighted how core business skills (such as partnerships and go-to-market strategy) play a critical role in scaling climate technology businesses."
The shift from SaaS to climate wasn't a departure from her skillset: it was a redirection of it.
Reflecting on LFA, Kerri shares: "The Fellowship showed me how my experience in scaling partner ecosystems could meaningfully align with my long-term ambition to accelerate climate action. It deepened my systems-level understanding of where the real applied points are."
Kerri is doing the unglamorous but essential work of making climate intelligence accessible to the organizations that need it most.
