Yishan Wong
CEO Terraformation
Yishan brings Silicon Valley’s expertise in scaling to the climate movement. Yishan founded Terraformation in 2020 to build and deploy tools that tackle the largest bottlenecks to mass-scale reforestation. The company hosts a forest carbon accelerator, supporting early-stage forestry teams to launch, build, and scale biodiverse reforestation projects. In addition to producing high-quality, verified carbon credits, these projects generate complementary sustainable revenue streams to support local economies. Terraformation’s current partner network spans five
continents and includes diverse landowners and organizations.
Prior to founding Terraformation, Yishan served as the CEO of Reddit, Director of Engineering at Facebook and was part of the engineering team that led to the exponential growth of Paypal.
