Join us in thanking Yann Verstraeten for his leading role on the EU B&B Platform over the years and wish him good luck on his next adventure!

Yann has played a leading role in the development and running of the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform over the last decade. During his time as Project Manager of the Platform, he worked collaboratively with the European Commission, the Platforms’ team and all the Platform’s stakeholders to transform it into one of the leading fora at the interface of business, finance, policy and biodiversity. Yann has also been the mastermind behind the European Business and Nature Summit. Join us in congratulating him for the work accomplished to date and wishing him all the best with his next adventures!

We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Rhona Perkins to the team. Rhona is an experienced business and finance professional and chartered accountant. More recently she has worked in sustainable finance for biodiversity conservation as well as EU sustainability regulation. Rhona will be the new Project Manager and coordinator for delivering the work on the EU Business & Biodiversity Platform. Welcome to the team!
