Announcement from Steve Andrews, Earthwatch CEO
29th July 2024
Earthwatch Europe’s CEO, Steve Andrews, has announced that he will be stepping down at the end of 2024, after five years leading the organisation.
Steve said:
“After five challenging but fulfilling years leading Earthwatch Europe, I have made the difficult decision to step down as CEO. It has been an immense privilege to lead such a dedicated team in our shared mission to create a world where we live in balance with nature. The team have achieved, and continue to achieve, fantastic impact helping people connect with and protect the natural world. I feel very lucky to have been with Earthwatch through a time of change and I will fondly remember my time at Tiny Forest planting days, water testing and watching the Farming with Nature programme develop.
I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished, and I am confident that Earthwatch is well-positioned for continued success. I look forward to supporting Earthwatch from the side-lines and watching it grow and develop in future.”
