At the Foundation, he spearheads the development of innovative solutions and strategic partnerships across each pillar of the Foundation’s work.

He has more than 20 years of experience across corporate and NGO strategy, innovation, policy development and programme management.

Nathan said on LinkedIn: “For over 15 years, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has explored the application of new technologies to the challenge of circularity. And one of these new areas is among the most hopeful uses of AI that I’ve seen.

“Unfortunately, the traditional methods of materials science can take years to move from lab to market with new compounds. But AI is introducing an evolution in that approach.

“The old ‘identify, test, fail’ loop is giving way to inverse design – an approach powered by generative AI and chemical language models. Instead of searching for needles in a haystack of possible materials, scientists can now begin to define the needle first and partner with AI on its development.”
