Stacy Kauk Joins CarbonCure Board To Accelerate Climate Impact

CarbonCure Technologies has announced key changes to its Board of Directors, including the appointment of noted carbon market leader Stacy Kauk, alongside a new Chair and Vice Chair. 

The move underscores the company’s focus on expanding its carbon credit program, which shares revenues with concrete producers to accelerate adoption of its CO2 utilization technology.

Kauk, now Chief Science Officer at carbon removal registry Isometric, brings over two decades of climate leadership. She leads a team of nearly 20 scientists ensuring credits meet the highest standards of integrity. 

Previously, she spearheaded Shopify’s sustainability strategy, directing a $55 million-plus carbon removal portfolio and co-founding Frontier, the $1 billion advance market commitment designed to scale permanent carbon removal.

“When I first worked with CarbonCure in 2020, purchasing carbon credits to launch Shopify’s Sustainability Fund, I was excited to discover a company not only reducing concrete’s carbon footprint but also supporting carbon utilization with permanent CO2 storage,” said Kauk.

“I’ve seen firsthand how CarbonCure’s model can bring real change in this hard-to-decarbonize industry, making incredible progress in a short amount of time.”

Building Leadership for Concrete Decarbonization

“Stacy’s visionary leadership in corporate climate strategy and carbon removal advocacy has transformed the voluntary carbon market and inspired a new standard for climate ambition. Her impact on the field is undeniable, and we’re beyond thrilled to welcome her to our Board of Directors,” said interim CEO of CarbonCure, Kristal Kaye. 

CarbonCure also named William C. Holden as Board Chair and Onne van der Weijde as Vice Chair. Holden, a long-time CarbonCure advocate, brings nearly four decades of executive experience in construction materials spanning aggregates, ready-mix, and building products.
