Expertise in the following
What brought you to sustainability?

Through a regenerative portfolio, I'm building resilience in rural locations, providing jobs, research capacity and the protection of globally significant ecosystems. I am currently based in Far North Queensland, Australia, pioneering a venture to restore 527 acres of the world’s oldest rainforest, Daintree.

My team is leveraging next-generation web3 technologies to optimize traditional land management knowledge by delivering organically managed geo-tagged trees in a point cloud dashboard.

Through a biodiversity program, advanced robotics, and cutting-edge R&D, ClimateForce is building a scalable model to diversify land management in the tropics. Encouraging nature-based solutions and building trust in sustainable development for businesses, students, and communities.

Which sustainable actions are you in charge of or have you implemented in your organisation?

I am managing the totality of running a reforestation project whilst keeping the team aligned on reducing their impact through food, technology and energy options.

We are 100% powered off the sun, reducing plastic waste, and plant-based fueled when on the farm.

Which challenges did you meet and how did you overcome them?

Managing a remote business without promixity to water, waste, energy and food services is by itself a challenge. Being a vertical supply chain is hard but a needed model.

What are you most proud of?

Growing a business from nothing. With 9 full time employees now and over 300+ volunteers engaged on our farm space.
