Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdrian Vogl is a conservation scientist and co-founder with over 15 years of experience designing interdisciplinary programs that translate ecosystem science into actionable investment, policy, and land-use decisions. He has led large international teams and partnerships across the Andes, Amazon, Himalayas, sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, South Asia and the United States, aligning technical models with donor and policy contexts to guide freshwater and landscape interventions. At Stanford’s Natural Capital Project he developed tools and frameworks—such as work underpinning the RIOS model—that help prioritize soil and water conservation for multiple objectives and influence real-world funding and permitting decisions. Adrian combines rigorous academic training (PhD in Aquatic Resources) with practical program management, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement, regularly bridging researchers, NGOs, governments, and private actors. Based in Palo Alto, he is known for turning complex ecological data into tailored decision-support products and policy recommendations that drive measurable conservation outcomes. A lesser-known strength is his ability to integrate cultural and institutional realities into technical solutions, increasing uptake in diverse socio-political settings.
