Wendy Hapgood
Co-founder & Director | Wild Tomorrow Fund
During her 10 years based in Japan, Singapore and New York as a Director of Currency Sales for Barclays and Citibank, Wendy spent much of her free time volunteering for wildlife organizations in Asia and America.
Wendy believes that biodiversity loss and climate change are two of the most critical issues facing our planet today. In 2015 she left the finance world to complete her Masters Degree in Sustainability Management at Columbia University’s Earth Institute where she studied climate change science and policy, researched the intersection of poverty and rhino poaching, and studied new methods for financing the green economy. Wendy now uses both her business knowledge and her environmental education to help protect our planet’s biodiversity.
