With two exciting and distinct areas of operation: focusing on the world’s tropical rainforests and supporting athletes in transition to life after their sporting careers, Jacobs Futura Foundation is working around the world to create lasting impact.

Protecting the world’s tropical rainforests is a huge task, and Jacobs Futura Foundation is working diligently, growing their rainforest programme to benefit nature, the climate and the communities that depend on them. With such growth a new Programme Lead was invited to join the team and we are now happy to announce that Veronica Robledo has taken on the position!

Veronica has had a considerable career working in the climate space around the world and joins Jacobs Futura Foundation bringing a host of experience in rainforest protection. Senior Recruitment Consultant, Ruth Gardner, led the search for the Programme Lead, tapping into international climate networks in order to find Veronica.

Of the recruitment process, Veronica noted: “the process was highly effective and professional and things worked out very positively!”. We were very pleased to have been a part of Veronica’s journey to Jacobs Futura Foundation and we very much look forward to hearing of the incredible programmes and projects Veronica will be working on to protect rainforests across the globe.
