Samantha E PowerSamantha Power is the Founder and Director of the BioFi Project and the Founder and Principal Consultant of Finance for Gaia. She is a Regenerative Economist, Futurist, and Bioregionalist based in Oakland, CA on the ancestral land of the Ohlone peopl. Samantha has harnessed her experience working at the World Bank and in the financial sector - advising finance ministries, central banks, and investors - and is now telling a story about the need to build a new layer in the global financial architecture that decentralizes financial decision making and puts resources in the hands of people living in relationship to place. Samantha and her co-author published a book entitled, 'Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet' in June.
