Austin Dziki

Senior Manager, Environmental Infrastructure

Austin joined the Green Bank in 2024 as a Senior Manager on the Environmental Infrastructure team where he supports the development and execution of new programs that generate private investments in nature-based solutions, climate resilience, and other environmental infrastructure projects across the state – ensuring that at least 40% of capital deployed benefits vulnerable communities. In his role, he oversees project origination, market development, and partnerships to advance measurable environmental and social impacts.

Prior to joining the Green Bank, Austin served as an Investments Manager at New Forests, a global investment manager of nature-based real assets, where he specialized in climate-smart timberland transactions, carbon strategy, and cross-functional deal execution. Austin takes a science-based approach to finance and program development, drawing from prior experience in ecological research, conservation, ecotourism, and forestry across New England, Latin America, and Africa.

Austin holds a Master of Forestry from the Yale School of the Environment and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Vermont.
