I come to this position after 25 years in real estate development and investment business in the San Francisco Bay Area. As with many firms in the Bay Area, the needs of Longevity Partners’ clients and stakeholders are changing rapidly. I am grateful to be on the board of such a young and dynamic firm to ensure that Longevity continues to have a positive impact on all stakeholders and society as a whole,” says David.

Etienne Cadestin, Founder and CEO of Longevity Partners said: “It’s a real honour to have Tamar and David join our global and US boards. Together, they bring more than 50 years of experience and leadership in consulting and responsible property investment. Their vision, knowledge, and leadership are exactly what we need as we expand our operations internationally and innovate our business models to become the leading independent global ESG advisory and investment firm to deliver the transition to a low carbon world and address the imminent climate and biodiversity crises.”
