Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBoris Ochoa-tocachi is a hydrology-focused CEO and researcher with over a decade of experience translating scientific evidence into practical environmental and social solutions across the Andes. As founder and CEO of ATUK Strategic Consultancy he guides nature-based and evidence-driven interventions to redefine human–nature relationships while advising regional initiatives like Forest Trends on hydrological benefits and natural infrastructure. Trained at Imperial College London (PhD and MSc) and a top-ranked graduate in civil engineering, he blends participatory monitoring, indigenous knowledge and hydrological modelling to prioritise interventions in remote mountain catchments. His career spans academia, policy and grassroots development—coauthoring scientific reviews and shaping monitoring protocols used by networks such as iMHEA. Based in Quito, he brings uncommon depth in both technical hydrology and community-rooted implementation, making him as comfortable with model outputs as with co-designing solutions with indigenous partners.
