Jose Luis González Montañez
Jose Luis is a nature-based solutions and climate projects leader with more than eight years of experience delivering complex, multi-country portfolios across Latin America. As a portfolio and programme manager, he coordinates the technical, financial, and stakeholder processes that turn ambitious strategy into on-the-ground delivery.
At South Pole he led a team of project managers responsible for a portfolio of more than twenty carbon and biodiversity projects across five-plus countries — work that together generated over five million tonnes of CO₂ and mobilised more than EUR 2 million annually, engaging Indigenous communities and private stakeholders directly. His delivery experience spans multiple carbon and biodiversity standards (Verra, Gold Standard, Cercarbono, ColCX, BioCarbon Registry), biodiversity offsets, payment-for-ecosystem-services instruments, and habitat banks, including the registration of Colombia’s second habitat bank. A trained geospatial specialist, he applies GIS and remote-sensing analysis to define conservation zoning and restoration priorities at landscape scale.
Jose Luis brings deep, field-based implementation experience and a talent for aligning diverse stakeholders — Indigenous Peoples, landowners, corporates, and institutions — around shared conservation and restoration goals. His combination of portfolio oversight, risk-informed delivery, and spatial rigour makes him well suited to developing and validating the replicable, on-the-ground case studies at the heart of forest-frontier strategy.
Juan Sebastián Viveros
Juan Sebastián brings nearly a decade in applied and agricultural economics, with the last several years focused on nature-based solutions and climate and energy-transition finance across Latin America. He specialises in translating complex economic and financial analysis into actionable, investable insight for both public institutions and private capital providers.
His expertise spans financial modelling, cost–benefit analysis, and investment structuring for large-scale nature and biodiversity projects, including financing vehicles and trusts structured for initiatives exceeding USD 10 million. At South Pole he supported sustainable-finance analysis for nature-based solutions, biodiversity offsets, and habitat banks, led additionality and risk assessments, and worked on payment-for-ecosystem-services schemes in agricultural landscapes. As Economics and Sustainable Growth Officer at the British Embassy in Colombia, he leads economic analysis of the climate, nature, and energy-transition agendas, supporting clean-growth programmes and the mobilisation of climate finance.
Juan Sebastián pairs the rigour of an economist with a practitioner’s grasp of how forests, agricultural value chains, and rural livelihoods connect. He is well placed to build the evidence base through financial archetypes, blended-finance structures, and decision-support tools, that helps philanthropic, catalytic, and return-seeking capital move from pilots to scale.
