INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR FINANCING NATURE´S CONSERVATION I am a Social entrepreneur with particular expertise in the fields of Fundraising and Corporate Responsibility Strategy. Master degree in Natural Resources Management and Social Marketing give a balanced profile combining knowledge of environmental problematics whilst understating politics and corporate dynamics. Over the last decade, I have been working as fundraiser and advisor for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and governments. I manage a large number of institutional and fundraising campaigns which preserve natural resources. One of the most successful campaigns was Plant for the Planet by UNEP, where I was inspired by Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai. I raise millions and was able to plant 47M trees in Spain, creating one the largest green mediterranean corridors in Europe. I am also advisor for Millennium Ecosystem, which analyzes the impact climate change holds for humanity. I am investing in B-Corporations, green projects and social innovation movements that can promote the social change humanity needs.
