The former prime minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair,
according to a press release from Khosla Ventures, is now not the last member of their team involved in "party politics", the post of Blair himself - "public policy advisor." Let's take a look at the details.
In 2004,
Vinod Khosla , well-known in narrow circles, founded the
Khosla Ventures office, which specializes in investments in the field of clean technologies, environmental protection and other “greenness”. Actually, Blair’s political career in recent years has been built in the same line - he is the initiator and head of
Breaking the Climate Deadlock , whose goal is to unite world leaders and openly discuss the problems of environmental pollution and efficient use of energy resources. It is logical that his long-standing Indo-English friend offered a place in one of the leading firms in his field.
For those who still do not understand what such a high-ranking sir in a green company will do, I will cite an excerpt from the press release: “Tony Blair uses his experience and knowledge to solve environmental problems, and global bilateral relations to expand the company's portfolio and improve the efficiency of facilities investment. " As Blair himself says: “I share the views of Vinod on problems, he is one of the first leaders in green investing, such entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and beyond will influence the future of all of us”.
The statement that Blair will now work as a team was made in front of a narrow circle of representatives of the companies in Khosla's portfolio, as well as its co-founders, including, for example, Bill Gates.
