Our Firm

Kristin Rechberger is CEO of Dynamic Planet, which helps build conservation economies – that is, economies that restore nature rather than deplete it. We are part of a growing effort to help effectively and equitably protect 30% of the planet by 2030 (30×30) with strong local socio-economic benefits and fit-for-purpose sustainable financing.

Our team supports high-impact partners from government, business, and civil society to build regenerative seascapes and landscapes. Dynamic Planet offers guidance and technical support to help our partners use new business models, blended finance, public-private partnerships, and compelling science-based narratives to maximize environmental, social, and economic returns. We have worked from the tropics to the Arctic to help create or improve conservation areas and economies that are regenerative rather than extractive.

Kristin currently serves as trustee of The King Charles III Charitable Fund, and boards of National Geographic Pristine Seas, Mongabay, The Environmental Investigation Agency, the Environmental Film Festival, and Ocean Exploration Trust.

Before Dynamic Planet, Kristin was Senior Vice President of Global Programs and Partnerships at the National Geographic Society where she held various leadership positions over 14 years. Kristin is a 1995 Luce Scholar, a 2009 Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. Kristin has public policy and film degrees from Duke University and has completed executive programs at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Oxford.
