Josh joins the team after a decade in sustainable finance, including the last six years at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s largest environmental organization, where he managed the Sustainable Finance Program. His experiences include having authored numerous reports and articles (including, among other widely used frameworks, The 2050 Criteria: Guide to Responsible Investment in Agricultural, Forest, and Seafood Commodities), developed new financial products in public and private equities, spoken at dozens of conferences, led partnerships with UNPRI and other global bodies, helped broker the historic BEI Soft Commodities Compact with a dozen of the world’s largest banks, and helped develop widely utilized ESG data scoring systems for public equities. In the past, Josh has also worked with Root Capital, where he expanded the impact lending portfolio to Southern Africa; the Rainforest Alliance, where he created the new pricing and business model; and Conservation International, where he, as a much younger man, tracked tigers and other endangered species in the Cambodian jungle. He holds a BA from Harvard and an MBA from NYU Stern, where he was a Reynolds Fellow in Social Entrepreneurship.

Josh is passionate about racial justice, deforestation, ethical supply chains, and animal welfare. This reflects his activist start working on mass incarceration, private prisons, and prisoner rights in the 90's, and his professional career over the past 10 years in the environmental movement.
