Equilibrium Climate Capital Appoints Rolando Morillo as Managing Partner
NEW YORK and LONDON, March 17, 2026 — Equilibrium Climate Capital (ECC) has announced the appointment of Rolando Morillo as Managing Partner. This strategic move brings Morillo's extensive expertise in climate and resilience investments to the firm, where he will play a pivotal role in shaping ECC's climate adaptation and resilience platform.
Extensive Background in Climate Finance
Morillo joins ECC after more than two decades at Rockefeller Capital Management, where he stewarded climate and resilience investments at an institutional scale. His career has been dedicated to mobilizing capital toward environmental solutions, with a focus on practical approaches to finance that address pressing climate challenges.
As Managing Partner, Morillo will oversee investment strategy, portfolio construction, institutional governance, and investment committee processes across ECC's climate adaptation and resilience platform. His work spans climate adaptation, resilience, and ocean-linked investment strategies, reflecting a long-standing commitment to advancing scalable environmental finance initiatives.
Leadership in Ocean and Blue Economy Initiatives
In addition to his new role at ECC, Morillo serves in a senior advisory capacity with The Ocean Foundation. There, he has contributed significantly to the development of ocean finance frameworks and the mobilization of private capital toward sustainable blue economy initiatives. This experience positions him uniquely to integrate ocean-focused strategies into ECC's broader resilience platform.
The appointment builds on the strategic foundation ECC has established across its target markets. The firm has developed its investment approach, regional partnerships, and operating framework across infrastructure resilience, water resilience, and health resilience. ECC emphasizes long-term fund stewardship and disciplined capital deployment across market cycles, aligning with Morillo's expertise in thematic strategy execution.
Vision for Climate Adaptation and Resilience
"For the past twenty-five years, I have focused on mobilizing capital toward environmental solutions at scale," said Morillo. "ECC builds on the trajectory of my career dedicated to mobilizing capital toward climate adaptation and resilience, offering a clear mandate, disciplined strategy, and the operational foundation to translate investment into tangible infrastructure and systems. Continued engagement across the blue economy and ocean finance ecosystem remains an important component of advancing scalable climate solutions."
Collaborative Leadership and Global Expansion
At Equilibrium Climate Capital, Morillo will work closely with Valeria Ramundo Orlando, Managing Partner of ECC and Founder of Greensquare Ventures. Together, they will oversee fund strategy, institutional governance, and investment committee processes as the firm expands across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other climate-vulnerable markets.
Morillo and Ramundo Orlando first met in 2018 at a panel discussion on ocean finance and emerging blue economy instruments. Both have since contributed to the development of ocean-focused funds and financial structures aimed at aligning capital markets with coastal resilience and sustainable resource management.
Strengthening ECC's Strategic Focus
"Rolando and I share a long-standing conviction that climate finance must move beyond allocation toward execution," said Ramundo Orlando. "His experience leading thematic strategies at scale, together with his broader engagement across the ocean and resilience finance landscape, complements the work underway at ECC and strengthens our focus on disciplined, long-term capital deployment."
Equilibrium Climate Capital was established within the broader Greensquare Ventures umbrella and invests in growth-stage companies across infrastructure resilience, water resilience, and health resilience. The firm employs a structured approach to operational value creation and risk management, ensuring that investments contribute meaningfully to climate adaptation efforts worldwide.
