Cordova joined Save the Redwoods League as conservation finance director, bringing more than a decade of experience designing and executing conservation finance strategies and large-scale land transactions. This includes her time spent serving as investment director at Mirova, where she guided private equity investments in land restoration, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation in Latin America.

Across her career, Cordova has utilized financial modeling, stewardship planning, and innovative investment structuring to benefit industries dependent on healthy landscapes. As fund advisor of Regenera Ventures, Mexico’s first equity agriculture fund, she designed investment strategies around regenerative and climate-centered agriculture, as well as carbon credit monetization. In other past roles, she led negotiations with timber companies, real estate investors, and public agencies to align financial returns with conservation outcomes.

As conservation finance director, Cordova advances Save the Redwoods’ long-term efforts to conserve coast redwood and giant sequoia forests by designing and implementing financing strategies for landscape-scale initiatives. Her successful background of mobilizing capital for nature-based solutions, extensive experience in impact investment, and her sophisticated understanding of carbon markets helps Save the Redwoods’ conservation programs and acquisitions remain financially resilient.

“I’m thrilled to apply my expertise to help protect and restore redwood forests. These forests are the world’s most effective climate giants, and my work bridges the gap between institutional capital and landscape-level restoration to ensure they will thrive for generations to come.”
