SwellMinded is a climate and sustainability consultancy that scales purpose-driven solutions to contribute to a net zero and nature positive future.

Sam Bennett’s values and beliefs have been shaped while chasing waves from Hawaii to California to Michigan, fully immersed in our nature world. After receiving his Business Management and Marketing Degree from Loyola Marymount University, Sam started his career developing and executing grassroots marketing strategies for Red Bull Energy Drink and then went on to lead global lifestyle marketing and entertainment projects for GoPro Inc.

In 2014, Sam’s purpose grew as he experienced the start of Hawaii’s worst coral bleaching event to date, witnessing 50% of his local reef suffer. With his background in building global brands, this awareness turned to action, as Sam launched SwellMinded, an impact consultancy where Sam uses his 17 years of experience to scale socio-economic and biodiversity benefits.

Developing impact strategies and managing teams, products, programs, projects and partnerships, SwellMinded aligns transformative organizations to the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Biodiversity Targets to improve Environmental, Social, and Governance ratings, creating a positive impact for all.
