He po‘i na kai uli, kai ko‘o, ‘a‘ohe hina pūko‘a
“Though the sea can be deep and rough, the coral reef remains strong”
— 'ōlelo no'eau / Native Hawaiian proverb

Aloha, I'm Brandon Jirō Hayashi.
I've spent the last 15+ years in the climate space.
Formerly a clean energy executive leading teams working on carbon reduction, an epiphany in 2021 enabled me to pivot into nature-based solutions where I focused on native reforestation, carbon removals, ecosystem services, and conservation finance.
I'm seeking the next step in my career where I can leverage my past experience, continue to learn, and be like the pūko‘a ("coral reef") by working in service of positive ecological and economic outcomes in these challenging times.
