In a world of change and complexity, Jay aims to bring simplicity and scalability to climate & biodiversity repair projects that are integrated with our productive systems.

With expertise across a range of disciplines from marine and climate science, carbon and biodiversity feasibility, commercial valuation/negotiation, project management, safe mobilisation/operations/demobilisation, to sales and marketing, Jay brings a mixed skillset to the work he is passionate about.

Jay’s diverse industry experience includes working with and for businesses in academia, fisheries/marine protected areas, oil and gas, mining, property development, banking/superannuation, pharmaceutical, food/beverage, water catchment management, urban farming and ecological restoration.

Jay is optimistic we can achieve Net Zero and Nature Positive goals by valuing ecosystem services and natural capital, operating in a no harm way and delivering sustainable business returns.
