Alicia Gibson is Director of Investment at Oxygen Capital, the investment arm of the Oxygen group. Oxygen restores more than 50,000 acres and turns measurable gains for nature, carbon and biodiversity into long-term investment value. She leads its work to scale investment into nature restoration by unlocking new capital, building investor partnerships and growing the UK’s natural capital market. She began her career at Deloitte, where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant (ACA). That grounding in finance shapes how she sees nature: as an asset class that must work for investors, communities and ecosystems at once. She spent nearly eight years at Finance Earth. She rose to Director there and helped shape the UK’s natural capital market from its earliest days. She structured investment for nature-based solutions in the UK and internationally and helped develop frameworks including the Wilder Carbon Standard and the UK Nature Accelerator. She also advised Community Owned Renewable Energy Partners, a £50m programme helping communities own local solar farms. In 2024 she was named one of the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise.
