Tee Thomas

CEO

Tee brings 20+ years of innovative environmental and water finance experience to Quantified Ventures. She became QV’s CEO on January 1, 2024, after nearly three years in leadership roles with the company. Prior to serving as CEO, Tee served as Vice President for Water and Climate Finance, a practice that she established and grew significantly.

Tee previously served as the Water Finance Director for the state of Vermont, where she managed more than $500M worth of water-related loans, grants, and contracts. She wrote and helped pass Act 185, which expanded the state’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund to fund natural infrastructure through new mechanisms, including a sponsorship program. She created the Natural Infrastructure Interim Financing Program, which deployed $15M in its first two years of operations, protecting and restoring more than 11,000 acres of land including wetlands, streams, drinking source water protection areas, and river corridor easements.

Prior to her tenure in Vermont, Tee worked with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ Drinking Water Program and later with the Iowa Department of Transportation as the National Environmental Policy Act Manager.

Tee combines her expertise in the mechanics of impact investing and public finance – including the EPA’s Clean Water Act Funding Programs (Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds) – with her passion for natural infrastructure and community resilience. She’s a strong believer in the power of outcomes-based finance to drive investment in environmental infrastructure and nature-based solutions, while simultaneously advancing equity and resilience.

Tee loves surfing, reading obscure non-fiction, and volunteering as an English teacher.
