Rupert Angel, Associate

I care about nature and am a strategist, innovator and entrepreneur.

I am lucky enough to be Chair @Finance.Earth (making finance work for nature and a climate-positive world for all), Chair @Suffolk Wildlife Trust and Chair @Agricarbon (reliable, affordable, high fidelity quantification of soil carbon). Previously, I served a full term as a Trustee for the RSPB, co-founded #VoiceForThePlanet and was an early co-convenor of #TheRaceIsOn to secure a nature-positive world by 2030. I was awarded an MBE for volunteer services to the natural environment in 2023.

I have been an innovator and entrepreneur, including co-founding Zopa, the world’s first peer to peer lender (now a unicorn) and as strategy Director at Egg, the UK’s first digital bank. As a foresight, strategy and innovation consultant I have led work around the world for organisations including Amazon, Tesco, AB Sugar, McCain, M&S, Mastercard, Save the Children, Which? and WWF.

I hold a (very out of date) MBA from INSEAD and a 1st class honours degree from University College, London. I am a birdwatcher and was fortunate enough to be part of a 3-person team who re-discovered three species of bird considered by many to be extinct.
