ABOUT GONZALO BANDA-CRUZ
Hi, I\'m Gonzalo. I help companies avoid greenwashing by creating ecologically viable, financially viable, actually impactful circular business models. I evaluate value chains at scale by providing carbon analysis, sustainability best practices, conducting Life Cycle Assessments, creating audit-worthy and independently verifiable data tracking, and assessing operational models. I pull from my extensive background in biodiversity management at institutions like Marine Stewardship Council, Conservation International, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, and the Galapagos National Park Service, as well as small and local NGOs. I am deeply invested in ocean conservation, coastal management & enforcement, marine spatial planning, and my passion is the application of Big Data/AI/ML for conservation and natural resource management.
