James Veraldi

I've been in the startup/tech space for a long time after starting my career in corporate work (Accenture, Target, Viacom).  I was a founding member of Fullscreen, a pioneer in the creator economy that we sold to AT&T in 2014, and went on to strategy and product roles at Snap & TikTok.  In 2017, I also began making investments in the climate and sustainability spaces and started my own podcast discussing various solutions in climate and conservation.  In recent years I became increasingly concerned with how our current economic model alongside technology are driving long term problems both to our planet and social fabric, and that is when I found Doughnut Economics.  I left TikTok to pursue building solutions to help solve the loneliness epidemic, and continue to do advocacy and investment work in the climate sector.
