Joel is CEO of the Jewish Climate Network.

His work driving social change at the community level spans educational program design, youth leadership and facilitation. After a stint on Collins Street as a commercial litigator, Joel was Head of Operations at The Man Cave, an organisation that develops the emotional intelligence and mental health of boys to enable them to become healthy and respectful young men.

His commitment to addressing the impacts of our rapidly changing climate has intensified over the last decade, culminating in his joining the Jewish Climate Network as its first CEO in 2020. Through JCN, Joel is driven to unlock the strengths, networks and creativity of the Jewish community, to become a leader in climate solutions and advocacy.

His commitment to social justice in a Jewish context culminated in his receiving the Ron Castan Young Humanitarian Award in 2019.
