EP23: Life as a ”Head of Customer Success in a Climate Tech Startup” with guest, Lynn Petesch

Lynn Petesch is the Head of Customer Success at Overstory, a Climate Tech vegetation intelligence company that is using satellite imagery to analyse understand the world’s vegetation with a particular focus on mitigating wildfires.

Public Sector

Before launching herself into tech and companies focused on helping to solve the climate crisis, Lynn had actually started her career in the public sector working for the United Nations World Food Programme and then in the diplomatic service of her home country, Luxembourg.

Tech Start-up World

She quickly realised that, while intellectually stimulating, she was not going to be a public servant and decided to break into the fast-paced world of tech start-ups – specifically B2B Software-as-a-Service Companies.

She has been part of the tech start-up world for the past 10 years in London and currently New York.

Lynn built a successful career building customer facing teams (called customer success in start-up land) for multiple high growth companies across different industries.

Climate Tech

She worked across the Fintech and Marketing Tech world but then decided to marry her passion of solving important issues impacting humanity with her skillset in building teams in high growth companies and join the burgeoning world of Climate Tech.

Lynn realised that you don’t have to be a solar engineer to work at Climate Tech company. Anyone can turn their career into a climate positive one. Investment in the industry has tripled in recent years and a lot of different skillsets are needed in order to attack the problem from varying angles.
