Joe Madden
Xpansiv CBL Holding Group (XCHG )
CEO
Joe Madden is a pioneering entrepreneur focused on the convergence of markets, data, and impact. In 2015, he co-authored a paper outlining how existing commodity production data could be mined, transformed, and delivered to markets, enabling a deeper assessment of "value." He then co-founded Xpansiv, assembling a team of global experts in technology, commodity exchanges, quantitative “smart standards,” and policy innovation in order to drive the digital transformation of global commodity markets. More recently, Xpansiv merged with CBL Markets to create the Xpansiv CBL Holding Group (XCHG), the global marketplace for Intelligent Commodities™. Prior to Xpansiv, Joe co-founded EOS Climate, a market leader in the California greenhouse gas (GHG) markets, and was instrumental in the launch of ATDynamics, an aerodynamic application for tractor-trailers. Both EOS Climate and ATDynamics were separately awarded the Governor’s Economic and Environmental Leadership Award (GEELA), California’s highest environmental honor. Joe has been featured in numerous publications and regularly speaks on the potential for science-based, data-driven approaches to addressing the world’s biggest challenges through markets. He holds an MBA in Sustainable Management from Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco, and a BA in Economics from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
