News Working Lunch: Flavio Galdiolo, Private Equity 13.11.2026

In the next instalment of this term’s series of Working Lunches, Old Dolphin Flavia Galdiolo (Class of 2016) spoke about her career. Flavia currently leads the climate and sustainable finance strategy at NextEnergy Capital, a specialist private equity renewables investment manager. She is responsible for the development and integration of a Climate Transition Plan to decarbonise investments and achieve net zero by 2050, and a Green Finance Framework to integrate sustainability into debt management decisions.

Interviewed by Upper Sixth form student, Ines, she discussed her journey through education including a BSc in Environment and Development from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and an MA in Global Political Economy from Leiden University. She took us through what a day in her role consists of, and what the work life balance is like in sustainable investments. There was also a discussion about the role of AI in the sector and how it may change the future of work. Flavia also gave some valuable advice for what girls at school, and then later at university, can do in terms of preparing to break into the sector. We are grateful for Flavia for being so generous with her time.
