Home: About Me
Amsterdam Canal

A results-oriented sustainability and finance innovation entrepreneur and founder of Blue-Green Futures (est. 2021) with 7+ years of experience managing media, policy development, and co-creating regenerative initiatives across multiple industries. These sectors include regenerative food systems, circularity, AI, security, green buildings, renewable energy, and health. Jake currently serves as: the VP of Business Development at 4Terra; Business Operations Associate at Al Liwan Group; an ambassador to Carbotura; and an advisor to Source2Source and EcoRestoration Alliance.

​

Adept at cross-sectoral collaboration and project development, with a proven ability to build strong relationships, align objectives, and manage competing priorities while delivering exceptional results. Expert in designing and implementing scalable SDG solutions and partnerships while mobilizing creative movements and equipping organizations with pioneering solutions and synergistic resources. Enjoys managing sales and finance outreach, strategic planning, conference diplomacy, and contagious marketing/content creation. A polyglot with strong regional knowledge and networks in transatlantic political economies, with a passion for blended finance and scaling up deep tech SPVs, MRV, and coalitions with diverse stakeholders. Optimizes operational AI and data use with a core strategic partner, and how to navigate carbon, bond, and blockchain markets.

​

Demonstrated track record of leading interdisciplinary, cross-cultural projects that foster balanced growth & security for sustainable human infrastructure and ecological systems. Excels as an advisor who wears many hats to serve organizational leaders, having leveraged unique resources and opportunities that advance long-term systems resilience and restore the health of air, land, water, and humans.

​

Worked at the UN (UNICRI) Centre for AI & Robotics to advance action-oriented initiatives on research, projects, and governance frameworks concentrated on the ethical, legal, social, and security implications of how advanced tech like AI and robotics are utilized by criminals, terrorists, and stakeholders in security. This was the UN's first agency that primarily focused on AI and robotics.

​

Education, empathy, curiosity, culture, and intrinsic motivation are what Jake values most. Excellent leaders and strategies produce high-quality results by concentrating on human potential, ecological/human health, relationships, and trust. Jake's master’s degree at Leiden University in International Relations specialized in the Global Political Economy track and the nexus of advanced tech, surveillance capitalism, and sustainable economic development.

​

Earlier, Jake followed my passion for education at Tufts University, helping leadership manage university-wide strategic planning initiatives on One Health and One Earth. He have media/marketing experiences at VICE Media, helping establish their new TV Channel, "VICELAND", and at Entercom Communications.
