Our Team
While the SHARC™ and SAWFISH™ technologies often get all the attention, it’s our people who make Triton succeed. We come from all sorts of backgrounds and usually work in different time zones. However, our commitment to innovation, triple-bottom-line leadership and hard work binds us together.
AT TRITON, TEAM IS EVERYTHING
When great people share a vision and work together, they truly have a positive impact on the world. We look for people with drive and innovation. People we admire and people we trust.
Triton grew from an out of box idea, that millions of trees have been submerged in reservoirs. Next-generation technologies can radically change how this fibre could contribute to global demand, while conserving terrestrial forests. This isn’t just about developing advanced technology; it comes from building a group of world-class innovators.
Our multidisciplinary team of foresters, engineers, geographers, technicians, financial and business professionals is working to recover these lost resources and contribute them to the market in their highest value form. Our impact is measured by the success of our partners and we are motivated by knowing our work contributes to sustaining more of the world’s terrestrial forests.
