Yard Stick provides low-cost, scientifically-rigorous quantification of soil carbon stocks. Our mission is to enable gigaton-scale soil carbon removal and storage via scalable, trustworthy measurement solutions. We are the measurement backbone of soil carbon. Our flagship hardware is an instant, in situ soil carbon measurement probe for field evaluation of soil carbon stocks and changes at up to one meter depth. This handheld device, based on two decades of soil spectroscopy research, eliminates laborious and costly conventional soil sampling and labs, thereby profoundly reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement.

I bring 15+ years of experience in corporate sustainability, climate startups and as an external consulting, including 8.5+ at Shopify. I've developed climate, sustainability and social impact strategies for global organizations, built and led cross-geography teams, and executed programs that are grounded in impact. At Shopify, I built Sustainability Fund programs, including working with ~30 CDR suppliers globally, leading carbon accounting and reporting, writing and championing integrated sustainability reports and standalone climate reports, leading the development of Shopify's Planet app, and more. I am focused on connecting with buyers interested in supporting a novel combination of biomass burial + reforestation projects. Broadly, I'm interested in market shaping efforts that accelerate the CDR ecosystem.
