ABOUT CLARE POLITANO BRODEUR

I’m a community organizer, permaculture designer, and technologist who weaves digital tools with regenerative practice to support bioregional coordination and collective stewardship. For over a decade, I’ve been building, guiding, and growing purpose-driven communities that use technology to collaborate, decide, and care for one another in new ways.As a Core Steward at Terran Collective, I help create the social and technical infrastructure for a regenerative future. This includes my work on Hylo, a prosocial coordination platform for purpose-driven groups.At Hylo, I lead partnerships, community, and product development. I partner closely with organizers, cooperatives, nonprofits, and networks to co-design technology that aligns with their culture, governance, and real-world impact. Because the challenges they face are rarely purely technical, my work spans product strategy, community design, participatory process, and governance.I help organizations- Turn sleepy online spaces into vibrant, high-trust, high-engagement communities- Bring clarity to complex product situations and align teams around shared direction- Translate community needs into clear, buildable product requirements- Design participation pathways that invite shared stewardship rather than passive use- Align technology, governance, and culture so platforms actually strengthen relationshipsBeyond digital systems, I am a land steward deeply committed to place-based organizing and regenerative agriculture. I am a certified ProSocial facilitator and a practitioner of Sociocracy (Dynamic Governance) for collaborative decision-making.GitHub: https://github.com/cpolitano
