Executive Assistant / Strategic Right Hand to Founder

New York | Global Climate / AI / Regenerative Agriculture Platform

The Founder is a globally respected creator, investor and venture builder with an unusual ability to bring together exceptional people across science, technology, investment, government and culture. His inner circle includes some of the most influential figures in climate, global development, finance and the arts. The work spans multiple entities operating across regenerative agriculture, biological science, AI-powered ecological intelligence and international partnerships at the highest levels - heads of state, governments, sovereign wealth, global media.
