Tom Wilson is Founder of Wave Changer an environmental surf organization that provides research and projects to speed up the transition to planet-friendly materials and encourage the right type of consumer behavior from surfers. Wave Changer was created on the back of an academic thesis focused on the surfing industry, after completing a Master's Degree in Environmental Science in 2018.
Tom has spent a decade working in architecture and design between 2000-2010, which has given me a keen eye for detail and creative problem-solving - before making the decision to pursue social and environmental interests from 2010 onward. Extensive experience in the social and education sectors with The Big Issue, Save the Children, and the Social Impact Team at the University of Technology Sydney.
