At Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA), Brandon supports the next generation of ocean innovators, providing them with the training, resources, and networks needed to create nature-positive solutions and drive systems change. In this capacity, he built the Ocean Leadership Program, established a grant program that distributed over $1M in funding to 400+ grassroots projects across 70+ countries, led five global leadership summits in collaboration with governments, and provided coaching to emerging leaders worldwide. At New Energy Nexus, Brandon managed funds and professional development programs for clean energy entrepreneurs, including operationalizing a $48M seed investment fund for early-stage startups and curating gatherings to build momentum around California’s SB 100.

Technologist and business entrepreneur who thrives on uncovering solutions to complex problems through a merger of technology, business and environment. With a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, my 20+ year work experience combines advanced research for deep sub-micron semiconductor processes, engineering for leading software EDA companies, and business strategy, development and branding for large technology corporations. I strongly believe that applying conscientious technology and nature-based science can successfully create practical solutions to current environmental challenges so I created the firm We Grow Green Tech. I have performed various roles as mentor/advisor/board director at several world leading accelerators (Dassault 3DS, HAX, Samsung XTC, Silicon Catalyst), universities (UC Davis, Biomimicry institute) and green technology startups (energy, material, biotechnology, AI, Hardware, Big data, IoT, Blockchain). In the last few years, I have grown hands-on expertise in various sectors: carbon economy, biomimicry, ocean regenerative technologies, plant-based and microbiome ecosystem, waste circular model, and smart building sectors. I also managed several internships with various universities focusing on forging the next generation of entrepreneurs required to tackle challenges inherent to green technology sector.
