Yishan Wong founded Terraformation with a vision to bring Silicon Valley’s expertise in rapid growth to the climate movement.
He recently completed construction of the world’s largest fully off-grid 100% solar-powered desalination system to alleviate water shortages that hinder arid ecosystem restoration. This relieves a key bottleneck that has prevented mass reforestation from closing the gap on comprehensively solving climate change.
Yishan previously served as CEO of Reddit and Director of Engineering at Facebook, and was an early engineer at PayPal. He lives in Hawaiʻi with his family and dogs.
