After paying attention to the state of the ocean and learning about the opportunity around intelligent aquaculture, Amy co-founded Aqua-Spark,a fund that invests in sustainable aquaculture. Before this, Amy spent a decade as the director of the TED Prize, leading over twenty global collaborations, across a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, education, science, technology, conservation, art and activism. Prior to TED, Amy worked in documentary television, which lead to developing and producing Chat the Planet, a TV and web initiative that connects young from different countries. Amy spent the early part of her career in Washington, DC, where she helped start up the Social Policy Action Network, a nonprofit that bridges the gap between journalists, academics, policy makers and grassroots initiatives. Loves: to bring people together, to foster collaboration, to connect people to ideas, to arrive in a place for the first time, to help create new opportunities, to search for answers and to learn people's stories.
