Jeremy Douglas has focused his career on building strategic, creative and sustainable partnerships that increase the capacity and impact of non-profit organizations worldwide. He is currently Vice President of Development at Ocean Wise, a global conservation NGO and parent organization of the Vancouver Aquarium. He oversees all external funding and government relations – working closely with policy-makers, business leaders and major philanthropists. He is also responsible for exponential growth in campaigns and support from grassroots donors.

Before joining Ocean Wise, Jeremy oversaw all the funding for the David Suzuki Foundation – managing teams in three cities across Canada. Prior to that, he lived in London, UK, developing and implementing strategies to secure major funding for organizations including BBC Media Action, Tomorrow’s People and Action for Children.

Jeremy also spent a year living on an isolated atoll in the Marshall Islands, where he spent his spare time spearfishing and husking coconuts. In his free time, Jeremy loves cycling, trail running, playing hockey, and traveling with his family.
