Meet The Leadership
Jacinta Plucinski
CEO
I lead a team committed to harnessing our collective experience and networks to develop technology for those tackling today’s urgent environmental challenges. Bringing over 20 years of cross-sector and international experience in strategic planning, implementation and management, today I’m fortunate to work on meaningful projects that continually expose me to the wonders of our natural world.
Chris ‘Akiba’ Wang
CTO
Leveraging decades of experience in technology to address critical environmental and wildlife conservation challenges today, I’m responsible for our technical direction and development. With over 25 years of experience in developing and deploying wireless sensor networks (WSN), hardware design and manufacturing, I bring an in-depth understanding of building technology that’s field deployable.
Partners
We draw from a pool of partners to assemble teams that combine expertise from a diverse range of disciplines.
In environmental monitoring we partner with satellite providers and experts including water, soil and climate scientists, ecologists, data modellers and analysts, data visualisers, and climate risk analysts to implement our technology then analyse and transform the data into action.
In developing specialised field technology for conservation, we partner with wildlife researchers and conservationists, ecologists, scientists, land managers and farmers to explore new ideas, inform requirements, test new innovations and deploy. Our partners help ensure our field technology is effective and affordable.
On larger scale projects, we work with international organisations, governments and the public and private sectors as they seek to address today’s climate and environmental challenges. We advise on and implement appropriate technology as part of long-term, multi-discipline solutions that incorporate technical, economic, social and political considerations.
