Delayed again, this time by a trip to India for my wife’s Grandfather’s 100th birthday. An extraordinary man. Useful perspective given the election. We will be reflecting on the impact to the water sector in the coming weeks, but the tailwinds domestically and internationally are inexorable. Onwards we go.?

We all know about the CEO in a company. When the company is small, the CEO does everything, and when it's big, the CEO sets the vision, hires the right people and makes sure they have what they need to be successful. But what about a layer deeper than that? Guillaume Clairet is a fascinating example of a world-class COO. Now he's too modest to be known as the power behind the throne, but he's the guy that makes sure what needs to be done gets done. And it's an interesting time for him after both the $395 million delisting of H2O Innovation by Ember and their acquisition of NextEra Energy, Inc.’s Distributed Water business. Along the way, H2O Innovation have done things their own way and have built an exceptional business and this is a fascinating insight into the practicality of that journey. Please enjoy my conversation with Guillaume Clairet. Tune into our 26th episode of The Fundamental Molecule featuring Guillaume Clairet, COO at H2O Innovation.

If you’ve ever been stuck holding your water bottle under an absurdly slow stream of water from a dispenser with a small red light looking accusingly at you (which means “Replace Filter”, and no one does), you know water fountains are… not ideal. HOPE Hydration have transformed water fountains from a pure cost sink to a revenue driver for venues of all kinds. It’s a simple idea - a high-class, reliable, connected drinking water fountain, with a large screen attached to run ads. They represent a step-change in the evolution of global free, reliable water access and having known them since 2021, we are delighted to announce them as our second investment in Fund II. Jorge Richardson, Cristina Gnecco, Dave Tigue, and the entire team at HOPE Hydration, thanks for letting us be a part of it, and welcome to the Burnt Island.

So awesome to have Christine E. Boyle at The White House today pushing forward work on the fundamental molecule. There's a lot to do in getting water onto the political agenda, but this is one fantastic step forward. Onward!
It’s been an honor to participate in the The White House Roundtable on Water Security and Climate Resilience. #fundamentalmolecule

So delighted to be an absurdly small contributor to the new ERM Sustainability Institute (my old employer) and J.P. Morgan report on The Future of Water Resilience in the US. It's one of the most thoughtful, well-structured, and compelling analyses of the landscape of the domestic opportunity in water that I've seen. I advise you all to take a look. This feels like an inflection point of the broader world "getting" what is going on with the fundamental molecule. Here it is - https://lnkd.in/eEuWE-eV

It's always worth paying attention to top-level consultants as crucial advisors to their usually enormous clients. They have their finger on the pulse of the practical needs of the market and are responsive when they see critical mass in an area. Sarah Brody runs the North American water practice of McKinsey & Company, which she has restarted in response to considerable client demand from mega-cap corporates to private equity firms. The mainstreaming of water advice for major clients is a very interesting leading indicator of the increasing attention being paid to the fundamental molecule. Sarah is a proper intrapreneur and has done exceptional work building the business on behalf of her clients. She really elucidates the role that firms like McKinsey play in this sector, and she has an excellent water origin story. Please enjoy my conversation with Sarah Brody.
