Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Rutenbeck is a product leader specializing in data and machine learning with 12 years of experience applying quantitative ecology and remote sensing to climate and land-use challenges. Currently at Vibrant Planet he shapes ML-driven product strategy and leads ecosystem services science, building on prior work at NCX where he designed and deployed core statistical, ML, and remote-sensing systems for scalable carbon-offset markets. He blends field-honed silviculture expertise and a background in quantitative forestry with startup product instincts, recruiting and growing data teams from the ground up. Based in Bangor, Maine, he brings a rare mix of hands-on natural resource experience (including forestry, farming, and woodworking) and rigorous technical leadership, all underpinned by advanced forest science training from Yale. His GitHub quip “It's turtles all the way down” hints at a curious, systems-oriented thinker who enjoys exploring foundational layers beneath applied solutions.
