Join us on Tuesday, October 7, for an engaging discussion with clean tech leader Dan Miller.  His presentation, “How to Fix Climate Change for Free,” will take place in Textor 102 from 6-7:30 p.m.  

Dan Miller is Managing Director of The Roda Group, a Berkeley venture capital group he co-founded that is focused on clean tech.  Dan is a former board member of biofuel manufacturer Solazyme, and he was previously the president of Ask Jeeves, Inc., both former Roda Group affiliate companies.  Dan co-founded TCSI Corporation, which became a leading provider of telecommunications software.   Before that, he designed communication satellite payloads at Hughes Aircraft (now Boeing) Space & Communications.  Dan received his BS degree from Cornell University and his MS degree from Stanford University.  

“I’m excited to bring Dan Miller to campus.  Dan is a leading advocate on the need to take urgent action to address climate change.  He is a successful venture capitalist with years of experience seeking solutions to technological problems,” says Marlene Barken, Chair of the Business School's Sustainability Committee.  She continues, “His firm, The Roda Group, now focuses exclusively on funding clean technology that can be scaled to meet the challenges presented by climate change.  Dan's presentation, "How to Fix Climate Change for Free," should appeal to a wide audience and will provide a meaningful call to realistic action.”
