— Where I come in —

Great solutions rarely stall because of the technology. They stall when access, trust and opportunity don't connect.

The product works. The mission is real. Growth stalls where it gets hard — the first sale, the market you can't enter, the partner you can't reach, the deal that won't close. That's exactly what SustainMotion360 is built to fix.

We're in go-to-market. The real challenge is landing our first commercial sales — and raising enough funding to stay afloat until we do.
→I build the commercial engine that goes after them. Senior outreach, meetings and negotiation to move your product toward its first paying customers — plus warm introductions to the grants and capital that buy you runway. I run the work; you get a real shot at revenue.
There's a huge market for us across the Americas — but we have no team there, no network, and no warm doors.
→We open the market. Local credibility, the right partners, and your first qualified meetings booked — in-language, on the ground.
Our pipeline keeps stalling before the enterprise and C-level deals we actually need.
→I run senior BD end-to-end. From outreach to C-suite negotiation to signature — the full commercial cycle, not just introductions.
We need offtake, partners or capital — but the investors and we speak completely different languages.
→SustainMotion360 bridges climate and finance. I've lived on both sides, so I translate your project into terms capital says yes to — and structure the deal.
Our founder is the only one who can really sell — and they're completely maxed out.
→I take the commercial load off the founder and build a pipeline that keeps moving without them in every call.

This is the exact gap I've spent thirteen years closing. Now for climate-tech — across the Europe–Americas corridor, and beyond when the mandate calls for it.

— What We Do —

André Rodríguez — Founder, SustainMotion360

I open doors. Then I help turn access into opportunity.

13+ years · Europe ↔ Americas · Finance → Climate → Growth

I'm André Rodríguez, founder of SustainMotion360. For 13+ years, I've worked where relationships, markets and commercial opportunities meet — based in Frankfurt and working across Europe and the Americas. I grew up around a family business, learning early that everything commercial is really about people and trust.

My background spans institutional sales, finance and climate technology: building companies, opening markets, developing partnerships and turning conversations into commercial opportunities.

Today, I bring that experience into SustainMotion360 — helping ambitious companies gain access to the markets, partners and capital they need to move forward, and the stories and visibility that help important ideas get noticed and remembered.

“I found the place where I'm most useful: at the commercial edge of climate — where a good project meets the market, the partner, or the capital that lets it scale.”
The road here

From Latin America to the corridor.

Buenos Aires2010

First venture

At 21, built an events and experience platform for international exchange students across Buenos Aires's universities — dining, themed nights, travel and adventure sports. Sold it as competition intensified, and moved into finance.

Perú2012

Where it started: finance

Leading retail sales teams, learning that every deal is really about trust — and consistently beating targets.

Perú2014

Founded Arboriza21

Started a reforestation movement while working in finance. First 5,000 trees in degraded land. arboriza21.org ↗

Buenos Aires2016

Opening Latin America

Built what became the region's most important LATAM desk from scratch, driving an 18% jump in client growth.

Frankfurt2019

Into Europe & enterprise finance

Relocated to Germany. Grew a bank's European market share from 20% to 33% and closed contracts with tier-1 European banks.

Zürich2023

Institutional dealmaking

At a Swiss quant fintech: 14 institutional deals in 12 months with hedge funds & family offices — 40% over target.

A decade of impact

Arboriza21 passes 100,000 trees, 100 hectares restored and ~22,000 t CO₂ compensated over ten years.

Europe & the Americas2025

Deep in carbon markets

Leading business development across carbon credits, biochar, plastic recovery and ESG infrastructure — the core I build on today.

Common questions

Before we talk.

You get one senior operator with thirteen years of closing experience — embedded in your team, part-time — not a junior agency pod billing by the hour, and not a permanent headcount that costs six figures and months to ramp. I carry the relationships, do the work myself, and have skin in the game. Fewer people, more seniority, faster results.

I can start within days. A Market-Entry Sprint delivers a market map, target list and first qualified meetings in four to six weeks. On a retainer, pipeline-building begins in week one. That said, real deals in carbon, ESG and climate finance move on real sales cycles — I'll be honest up front about what's realistic for your case rather than promise overnight wins.

My focus is the Europe–Americas corridor — carbon markets, ESG, circular economy, plastic credits and climate finance — with deep networks in both Europe (Frankfurt, DACH, Benelux, Nordics) and Latin America (Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil). For the right mandate I work globally. If your target market isn't a fit, I'll tell you on the first call.

Typically Seed to Series B climate-tech companies, carbon and nature-based project developers, ESG and MRV platforms, and funds — teams that need senior commercial firepower but aren't ready for (or don't want) a full-time VP of BD yet. If you're pre-product or purely looking for junior lead-gen, I'm probably not the right fit.

The Fractional Growth Partner is a monthly retainer, minimum three months. The Market-Entry Sprint is a fixed project fee. Representation and dealmaking mandates always combine a monthly retainer with a success fee — the retainer covers the work of building your market presence, the success fee aligns me with your outcome. Every engagement is scoped, and signed, before we start.

I work under NDA as standard. Your pipeline, your contacts, your strategy and your commercial data stay yours — always.

Book a 30-minute strategy call. We'll pressure-test where your growth is stuck and whether I can move it. If it's a fit, you get a scoped proposal. If it isn't, I'll tell you — and often point you to someone who is.
