Oli Cook is the visionary co-founder and CEO of ekko, a fintech business with a mission to make every financial transaction a force for good. With a focus on Sustainability-as-a-Service, ekko empowers financial institutions to integrate sustainability into their current service offering. With a strong background as a product and commercial leader at financial giants like HSBC and challenger scale ups like Metro Bank and Avantia, Oli and his co-founders identified a transformative opportunity to harness the trillions of financial transactions made each day to have a positive impact on the planet, through reforestation, carbon compensating, and many more biodiversity initiatives. This insight led to the creation of ekko, a platform designed to enable businesses and banks to drive meaningful change in a cost-effective, revenue-generating manner.
