LYNDA DEAKIN

After 25 years as a Partner & Managing Director at IDEO, I just started a new role as an Operating Partner at Acre Venture Partners working with companies that are tackling issues we’re facing in climate, and addressing large scale problems in food, agriculture, human and environmental health.

Using my background in human centered design, I work across the food and healthcare industries using design as a tool to help individuals, organizations, and society establish healthier, more sustainable behaviors. People often struggle to connect the dots between the choices they make day to day, and the larger issues we're facing with regards to climate. My goal is to use the skills I have learned to help bridge the gap and nudge people to make better decisions for themselves and the planet.
