Peter McGarry
Independent Member of the BoardAbout
Peter is an Irishman, founder of The Earth Foundation, home of the Earth Prize competition. He is based in Switzerland, a father of four, entrepreneur, macro portfolio manager and extreme runner.
His interest in sustainability was sparked by his children’s enthusiasm for the environment, empowering the youth and his first-hand experiences running marathons on all 7 continents and the North Pole. He decided that he could leverage the passion he saw in his own children and his experience in global financial markets to create a force for positive change through a foundation.
