Hari Balasubramanian is driven by the belief that all types of capital can be deployed to achieve impact. His goal: a healthy planet on land and in the ocean, a stable climate, abundant and diverse wildlife, prosperous communities and flowing, clean fresh water; not as a cost to society, but as an opportunity and previously under-recognized business value.

Hari is the founder of the Certified B Corporation®, EcoAdvisors, helping protect threatened species, forests, oceans and the people who depend upon them throughout the world. In the past ten years, the firm has worked with diverse partners to help influence over U$3.5B toward sustainable solutions. He is also the founder of EcoInvestors Capital, a full-service Advisory and Investment Management firm. He previously worked at Conservation International leading the monitoring and evaluation function. He serves as a Director for several environmental charities, mentor to start-ups, and advisor to investors, corporates, and governments on the value of nature and the future of sustainability. Recently, he was recognized as the 2021 top impact consultant/enabler in Canada through Clean Leaders. He holds a BSc in Biology from McGill University and an MSc in Geography (Distinction) from Oxford University.
