• Strategic Leadership: Flatter, a climate and energy innovation expert, will lead Greentown Labs amid its expansion and growing influence.
• Global Experience: Formerly with MIT and TomorrowNow.org, she brings a strong track record in scaling climate-tech solutions.
• Growth and Impact: Greentown, North America’s largest climatetech incubator, is set to reach 600 member companies under her leadership.

Greentown Labs has named Georgina Campbell Flatter as its new Chief Executive Officer, following a $4 million funding round and board restructuring. Flatter’s background spans entrepreneurship, climate innovation, and nonprofit leadership, making her a strategic fit to drive the incubator’s next phase.

“It’s rare to find an individual who has impressive climate and energy expertise along with nonprofit and entrepreneurial leadership—we’re fortunate Georgie brings all of this and more to Greentown Labs,” said Bobby Tudor, Greentown Labs Board Chair.

Proven Leadership

Flatter co-founded TomorrowNow.org, an initiative connecting weather and climate technologies with vulnerable communities. Under her leadership, the organization secured funding from major partners, including the Gates Foundation, and provided climate solutions to five million African farmers weekly.

Her previous work includes a decade at MIT, where she led global climate initiatives, worked with organizations such as the World Bank, XPRIZE Foundation, and U.S. Department of Energy, and researched energy storage technologies.

“We are at a transformational moment in the energy transition, with an unprecedented opportunity to drive solutions in energy production, sustainability, and climate resilience,” Flatter said.

Scaling Climate Innovation

Flatter was closely involved in Greentown’s early days, when it emerged from MIT in 2011. The incubator has since grown into the largest climatetech startup hub in North America.

“The roots of Greentown’s creation is entrepreneurship, built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, and there’s no one better to take this organization to the next level than Georgina,” said Bill Aulet, Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.

As CEO, Flatter will oversee Greentown’s Boston and Houston locations, uniting entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate partners to scale breakthrough climate technologies.

“Georgie was with us at the very beginning, and we’re excited to see where she’ll take us next,” said Jason Hanna, Co-founder of Greentown Labs.

Looking Ahead

Flatter, who holds degrees from Oxford University and MIT, is committed to advancing climate innovation and expanding Greentown’s impact in its second decade.
