Introducing: Alex Ablamunets, Director of Sales and Strategy

We’re excited to welcome Alex Ablamunets as Green Cities Accord’s new Director of Sales and Strategy.

With six urban tree planting projects already enrolled and thousands of high-quality carbon offsets coming online in the years ahead, Green Cities Accord is entering a pivotal phase of growth. To ensure that revenue from offset sales flows back into communities—supporting our partners to plant and maintain more trees where they’re needed most—we’re ramping up our capacity to engage buyers and drive investment in local, urban forestry initiatives.

In this new role, Alex will lead efforts to grow the market for Green Cities Accord’s urban tree carbon offsets, with a focus on identifying and engaging prospective buyers, cultivating partnerships with corporate and institutional stakeholders, and developing strategies to sustain and scale this innovative funding model.

Alex brings more than 15 years of experience spanning management consulting, digital technology, and sustainability, with a focus on helping organizations reduce their carbon emissions while creating long-term business value. A University of Minnesota alum, Alex holds a B.S. in Accounting and Entrepreneurial Management from the Carlson School of Management. He also earned graduate certificates in Corporate Sustainability from NYU Stern and the University of Cambridge, and is a fellow of the OnePointFive sustainability consulting accelerator.

A seasoned sustainability professional, Alex is passionate about aligning climate solutions with business strategy—and we’re thrilled to have him on board as we scale the impact of our work and accelerate investments in healthy, equitable urban forests across the Twin Cities metro.

Please join us in welcoming Alex to the team!
