John's so good at long-range planning he probably schedules his spontaneity three fiscal quarters in advance, great if you're building a school, not so great if you want a meme.

Announced and funded the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the first new Stanford school in 70 years, while driving influential climate tools like the Speed & Scale tracker and backing policy momentum such as the Inflation Reduction Act.

To mobilize capital, policy, and talent toward scalable solutions that preserve a habitable future, moving institutions and leaders from intention to rapid, measurable action.

Believes in urgency, evidence-driven decision making, the power of technology and markets to solve hard problems, and that high-leverage partnerships between philanthropy, academia, government, and business are the fastest route to systemic change.

Massive credibility and reach, an unrivaled network of founders and policymakers, skill at translating vision into funded initiatives, and a track record of launching influential programs and tools (e.g., Speed & Scale Global Climate Tracker).

Can come across as top-down or buttoned-up for casual social audiences; messages sometimes live at a high strategic level and may miss gritty storytelling that drives viral engagement; occasional overreliance on technocratic solutions.

Lean into storytelling and bite-sized impact metrics: post short video clips or threads breaking down tangible wins from Speed & Scale, spotlight founders and frontline workers, and share behind-the-scenes moments from partnerships (Stanford, policy meetings, portfolio startups). Use data cards and visual charts for quick shareability, host regular X Spaces or AMAs to humanize the work, engage replies with one thoughtful call-to-action, and pin a clear resource thread linking reports, trackers, and opportunities to get involved. Amplify key posts with partners and occasional promoted tweets to reach beyond the existing network.

It’s hard to imagine a better use for AI than @EvidenceOpen. Daniel Nadler and his world-class team at OpenEvidence are building what I believe will become an AI-era treasure—a life-saving resource for doctors, patients, and their families. I can’t imagine the future without it.

I'm thrilled to share the @speedandscale 2024 Global Climate Tracker. It shows where progress toward net zero has been made, where it's lagging, and what we need to do to get there in time. Dig in. speedandscale.com/tracker/

Thank you @POTUS for signing the historic #InflationReductionAct into law and making clean energy more affordable for all Americans. This new legislation will cut U.S. emissions by 40% by 2030 – getting us closer to our climate goals and helping us secure a habitable future.
