Spencer Cook

Originally from Canada, I've been living in Australia since 2006. I hold a bachelors degree in Commerce specializing in Entrepreneurship and International Business and I am currently working on a Masters of International Development & Environmental Analysis in Melbourne.

I have several years of experience in contract negotiations and supplier management in the Energy Sector, including with the Canadian government, a hi-tech solar company and currently with an Electricity Distributor in the Australian state of Victoria.

Development experience includes field research on remittances and business investment in Samoa, as well as a project in the Cinque Terre Italy to restore farming viability through land reform.

I recently completed an internship with the great people of the BiD Network HQ in Amsterdam. I look forward to finishing uni and returning to working with Entrepreneurs and Investors interested in contributing to their communities.

Finally, I love tall ship sailing, which has brought me to beautiful places and meet great people in Latin America and the Pacific.

Happy Days and Fair Winds!
