Dr Gareth Thompson Email & Phone Number

I’m on a mission to co-create a network community that protects and restores the natural world and improves the health and wellbeing of people simultaneously - a Green Swan (coined by John Elkington)I started my career as a doctor because I wanted to use my love for science to make a positive difference to society. I went to business school to learn how to lead projects that have high impact. I caught the entrepreneurial bug after winning a class competition, and rekindled my passion for innovation. Post B-school I dove into digital health startups and the school of hard knocks. Ever curious, the climate crisis forced an epiphany: centuries of progress in human health would be reversed if we don’t solve it. I excel under pressure, and realised that rapidly scaling eco-startups hold one of the keys to stop and then reverse the destruction of nature. My love of outdoor swimming and running through forests was more than a hobby :) An even bigger epiphany: Society is sick. To cure society we must put nature first and then reweave the fabric of capitalism: - Personal & Individual Development: Adaptive Way- Team Collaboration: Holacracy / Sociocracy / Humanocracy- Multistakeholder Incorporation: Fairshares Commons- Governance: Self-Managing, Self-Directing Chaordic Organisations- International: UN Sustainable Development Goals- Economic: Doughnut Economics & Regenerative CapitalismThis new fabric will enable inclusive economic growth focused on holistic wellbeing combined with the regeneration of nature to achieve a healthy, green, fair society that takes care of everyone, and enables our human race to reach its full potential in the 21st and the 22nd century and beyond when we travel to the stars.Achievements: - Advised Imperial NHS Trust on new Green Plan for Sustainability- Created and motivated team of virtual interns for Solve.Earth Eco-Startup Studio during covid19- Advised eco-startups on strategy, marketing, branding, copyediting, comms (eg The Accelerator Network)- Built eco-hackathon for the Royal College of Art- Won Climathon competition with Styroloop startup team- Co-edited Artificial Intelligence for renewable energy articles with Climate Connect- Authored bestselling book The MBA Entrepreneur- UK patent holder/creator of Self-Service Drinks Dispenser- Published medical research"Boots on the Ground, Eyes on the Sky"
