After paying attention to the state of the ocean and learning about the opportunity around intelligent aquaculture, Amy co-founded Aqua-Spark,a fund that invests in sustainable aquaculture. Before this, Amy spent a decade as the director of the TED Prize, leading over twenty global collaborations, across a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, education, science, technology, conservation, art and activism.

Amy spent the early part of her career in Washington, DC, where she helped start up the Social Policy Action Network, a nonprofit that bridges the gap between journalists, academics, policy makers and grassroots initiatives.

Loves: to bring people together, to foster collaboration, to connect people to ideas, to arrive in a place for the first time, to help create new opportunities, to search for answers and to learn people's stories.
