Carl Lens

Head of Digital Regreening, Justdiggit

Hi, I am Carl. I was studying business administration when my professor assigned us to study the ‘next big thing’: web 2.0. This was the time the internet became a two way street. I was immediately intrigued and changed my Master’s specialization into E-Business. From that time onwards I have been involved in building digital products, first as an entrepreneur in the domain of crowdsourcing and later as consultant to corporates and startups. Two leitmotivs in my work are design thinking and the democratization of technology. Today I try to leverage these experiences for the most ambitious goal I have ever worked on: reaching 350 million farmers to help them regreen their land and cool down the planet.
