Meet the Team

  • NICK CHIARELLI

    CO-FOUNDER AND CEO

    Nick has held a number of finance, operations and strategy roles over the last 20 years ranging from start-ups through to being the CFO of an ASX listed data security software company. 

    Nick believes that a new dawn of ‘conscious capitalism’ or ‘profit with a purpose business’ is necessary in order to achieve the type of rapid and mass change required to achieve a sustainable future. 

    In 2018 Nick met Tim Silverwood to discuss a vision of an innovation ecosystem and startup accelerator for the ocean based in Australia. That vision is Ocean Impact Organisation.

  • TIM SILVERWOOD

    CO-FOUNDER AND HEAD OF MARKETING & COMMUNITY

    Tim Silverwood is an award-winning environmentalist passionate about protecting Planet Ocean from human impacts. A keen surfer, Tim became alarmed at the increasing risks plastic pollution posed to the ocean and wildlife, co-founding the not-for-profit organisation Take 3 for the Sea in 2009.

    Tim is a globally respected voice in the pragmatic conversation about the state of our home planet and that humanity must embrace ‘business as unusual’ if we are to create an abundant and sustainable future.

    Tim is a previous Green Globe ‘Sustainability Champion’; TEDx speaker; regular fixture on news and TV (including the ABC series ‘War on Waste’) and stars as an ‘Ocean Guardian’ in the 2017 feature documentary ‘Blue’.
