About Roman Madaus

PROFESSIONAL ME: Climatetech professional with experience in commercializing industrial decarbonization innovations. I am a program operations leader from the climatetech sector with extensive experience advising, designing, and working within government programs. I have a proven track record of delivering value in cross-functional roles, and I bring a keen eye for process design and improvement to all my work. My current role requires me to align decarbonization pilot projects with government priorities and ensure regulatory compliance on existing R&D projects. I excel when serving as the node among stakeholders on complex projects, and my startup experience has honed my ability to juggle competing and shifting priorities while managing execution risks. The most salient qualities that I bring to my work are reliability, tenacity, and thoroughness. I\'m passionate about harnessing technology to address the climate crisis. REAL ME: I’m a voracious learner and I’m passionate about figuring out how to improve myself and everything I interact with. So many things fascinate me, and I take joy in making new connections between seemingly unrelated areas. I seek out adventure whenever I can, and I try to see the humor in things. One of my strongest drives is to put my mind and motivation to work in helping address the world’s thorniest problems. I speak German fluently and Spanish conversationally. I\'m a big fan of health science, travel, biology, kiteboarding, rock climbing, and permaculture. ENTJ.
