## **It's hard to know what to do about the climate crisis.**

## We hear all the time that we should use reusable bags or go vegan or speak up more, but how do you know what moves the needle?

## At Wren, we want to make it easy for anyone to make a difference—to unlock the collective action of millions.

## **Wren is for anyone who wants to tackle the climate crisis but isn't sure where to start.**

## It's an approachable on-ramp to action: First you understand your own impact, and how that fits into the world. Then we help you reduce and offset your footprint while pushing for systems change.

# Meet our team!

## We’re a small crew, spread out across  the **United States** 🇺🇸, **France** 🇫🇷, and **Canada** 🇨🇦.

## **Landon Brand**

CEO and Co-Founder

“I always thought someone else would fix the climate crisis by the time I grew up. But after reading the dramatic 2018 IPCC report, I saw how hard it'd be to end the climate crisis. My friends and I started Wren because we have the solutions we need to end the climate crisis, and now is the time to deploy them at a massive scale.”

[landon](https://www.wren.co/profile/landon) Landon](https://linkedin.com/in/landonbrand)

## **Mimi Tran Zambetti**

Co-Founder, Product

“The time since we've started Wren has been as much about helping others on their climate journey as it has been about continuing mine. I've had inspiring conversations with people around the world, Wren users or otherwise, who are doing their part in the fight for climate. And I’ve come to cherish California’s ecosystem more than ever—every day I watch red-tailed hawks soar by and admire the valley oaks dotting the land—reminders of what Wren is fighting to preserve.”

[mims](https://www.wren.co/profile/mims) [mims_tz](https://x.com/mims_tz)

## **Sophie Westover**

Head of Climate

“I’ve spent a decade working to improve outcomes for people and the planet, and in the process, I’ve learned that reversing the climate crisis requires a systems-thinking approach. That’s why I joined Wren where I take a critical approach to sourcing projects that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. This work isn’t easy, but it’s necessary for securing a future we can all thrive in.”

[sophiewestover](https://www.wren.co/profile/sophiewestover) Sophie](https://linkedin.com/in/sophie-westover-483403b0)

## **Path Wei**

Content & Communication

“My climate journey started with lifestyle shifts, like eating less meat and giving up driving. Then during Covid, I realised individual actions need to be part of collective efforts to spark real change. Now at Wren, I get to help others make an impact, too!”

[path](https://www.wren.co/profile/path) pathandtheplanet](https://pathandtheplanet.substack.com/)

## **Hilary Derrick**

Marketing Communications

“Growing up immersed in the outdoors, I developed a deep love for nature and the motivation to protect it. I want future generations to be able to have the same experiences I had—wandering through the forest, feeling the sweet chill of the river or ocean, and sharing their environment with the precious flora and fauna who also call it home. Joining Wren was the perfect opportunity to play my part in helping to end the climate crisis.”

[hilaryderrick](https://www.wren.co/profile/hilaryderrick) @hils.thrills](https://instagram.com/hils.thrills)

## **Christina Beckmann**

Head of Wren Travel

“In 2019, I helped launch Tomorrow’s Air—the travel industry’s first global collective focused on educating and inspiring travelers and travel companies—to help fund innovative climate solutions. Every kg of carbon dioxide we pull from the atmosphere helps ensure the places we live in and visit can endure. I’m proud to be part of the team at Wren, where contributing to a range of climate solutions is so easy and reliable.”
