Britta Justesen has spent more than 25 years working to protect the natural world through philanthropy and nonprofit leadership. Throughout her career, she has been drawn to work that protects wildlife, preserves wild places, safeguards our oceans, and helps address climate change, all rooted in a deep respect for the diversity of life on our planet.
Her experience includes working with World Wildlife Fund and Rewilding Chile, with a focus on building lasting relationships with people who share a commitment to conservation and connecting their interests and passions with meaningful opportunities to make a difference.
Britta grew up in Truckee, California, where time spent outdoors helped shape her lifelong love of nature. She has now called San Diego home for more than 20 years and loves being near the Pacific Ocean. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her dogs, walking on the beach, traveling, exploring new places and cultures, and getting lost in a good book.
