Top SchoolJorge Ahumada is a senior environmental leader with more than 25 years directing large-scale wildlife monitoring and conservation programs and over a decade in executive roles guiding strategy, fundraising, and multi-institutional partnerships.

Jorge has a strong publication record (60+ papers) and a track record securing multi-million dollar funding to build open-access platforms that aggregate and analyze global wildlife data.
