E170 Dimitri Theocharis

Dimitri Theocharis grew up watching an economy collapse. So he left. New York, San Francisco, Harvard Business School. Then something unexpected: a climate startup in the UK that needed someone who understood both money and markets.

Dimitri is now CEO of Ecologi, a platform at the intersection of carbon accounting, nature-based funding, and the voluntary carbon market — working with over 16,000 businesses and betting on a consolidation wave that will reshape the entire industry before 2030.

We get into the AI arms race and why he thinks it’s net positive for nature. The hyperscalers, space mining, the Elon rollup theory. The voluntary carbon market, and why most criticism of carbon credits comes from people who don’t understand what they’re criticising.

And at the end — because Dimitri takes his biomarkers more seriously than most people take their careers — we get into longevity, nutrition, and why the smartest people in the room are quietly doing the boring health stuff everyone else ignores.
