Anne Guerry

Anne (she/her) is Co-Executive Director of the Natural Capital Alliance, based at Stanford University. She creates and implements NatCap’s vision, strategy, goals, and fundraising in collaboration with the NatCap Faculty Director and her fellow Co-Executive Director. She directs NatCap's research-bridging activities (communications, capacity-building, and convenings), Sustainable Livable Cities efforts, and marine and coastal work. She is fascinated by the relationship between people and nature and believes that cutting-edge science, engagement with leaders of all sorts, software tools, art, poetry, and more can be used to understand and enrich that relationship. Her research is wide-ranging and includes investigations into the links between nature and human health, the resilience of coastal ecosystems, and the creation of novel policy and finance mechanisms for people- and nature-positive investments. Before coming to Stanford, she was a National Research Council fellow at NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. She received her PhD in Zoology from Oregon State University, her MS in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Maine, and her BA in English and Environmental Studies from Yale University.
