Matthew Shribman is a scientist, environmentalist, speaker, advisor, serial founder and author.

He is Chief Scientist & CEO of AimHi Earth, whose team is racing to activate millions of nature-first thinkers, to accelerate the evolution of our economy and society to one of sustainability and regeneration.

AimHi Earth is supported by leading lights like Dr Cécile Girardin, Sir Jonathon Porritt, Chris Packham CBE, Paul Hawken, Sir Tim Smit, Lord Jim Knight and Sabra Noordeen. Its fast-paced, action-packed training programmes have changed the direction of companies, the kits of football players, the speeches of Olympic medallists, the funding strategy of charities and the output of broadcasters.

Matthew also works to support Stop Ecocide International and the Cambridge Centre For Climate Repair.

Matthew is now in the midst of writing a book, due out in 2025, about the interweaving of human and natural systems.
