Markus Gilles
Co-Founder & CEO, Klima
With a background in both the NGO and tech sector, Markus took a break from startup life after exiting his company Hyper – a New York based platform for quality video journalism – and backpacked from Alaska to Patagonia. What started from a desire to explore our natural planet, turned into a mission to save it. Seeing firsthand how our ecosystems have become under threat everywhere, he founded Klima to help protect and restore the world we love.
