LORENZO CURCI
CO-FOUNDER AND CCO
EARTHLY
Lorenzo Curci is the co-founder and CCO of Earthly. Prior to starting Earthly, Lorenzo worked at Credit Suisse in Equity Derivatives. The allure of entrepreneurial life, however, was too strong and in 2013, he started Huez, a technical cycling brand, with the aim of getting people out of cars and onto bikes. In 2018, Lorenzo felt more could be done to address climate change. So, alongside Olly Bolton, he founded Earthly with a mission to help businesses invest in high-integrity nature-based solutions. Earthly is now a leader in its field, having built one of the world’s leading holistic project scoring tools and launching the first UK government-backed Biodiversity Credits. Earthly proudly supports Deloitte, Metlife, Caixa Bank, and many others through their nature strategy, and recently, Earthly was a winner of the COP27 ClimaTech prize, a winner in Uplink's 2023 NatureTech prize and named 2023 start-up of the year at Retail Week Live.
