About the Founder and CEO:
Marco C. Van der Ree
I am a bold, value-driven global leader and social entrepreneur with 25+ years of experience turning big ideas into real-world impact in sustainable development, biodiversity, climate innovation, and citizen engagement. I specialize in forging powerful partnerships, securing multi-million Euro funding, and scaling organizations to drive meaningful change.
A natural connector and strategic thinker, I bring people and sectors together, working with UN agencies, NGOs, the private sector, and leading EU climate innovation firms. As a passionate speaker, I’ve represented organizations on global stages, including COPs and major international conferences.
Fluent in Dutch, English, Spanish, and Portuguese (with good German and intermediate French), I also advise nonprofit and startup boards, helping shape the future of impact-driven initiatives.
Let’s connect and make things happen!
Past activities:
"Sustainable Societies: Responsive Citizens" - 64th UN DPI NGO Conference, 2011
"Volunteer Action Counts" - Rio+20, 2012
We will be doing this through building multi-stakeholder partnerships, developing innovative tools for people’s engagement for sustainable development, including crowdfunding, supporting the development of resource mobilization/fundraising strategies for NGOs, linking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs of companies to the work of NGOs, and through developing ideas to make development programs and the global development architecture more inclusive and efficient.
