Background
Banks is formerly Ezra's Head of Venture Development, and the Co-Founder and CEO of Uncharted, an accelerator for early-stage ventures tackling major environmental and social issues in the US. In 2022, Banks led Uncharted to merge with Common Future, another organization focused on building an inclusive economy that works for everyone. Before merging, he and his team doubled the size of the organization by building major partnerships with brands like Chipotle, Facebook, Visible, and NBC Universal, moved the organization to a 4-day workweek where people get 100% compensation to work 32-hours a week over four days, and has worked with his team to build a values-driven, culture-forward business that was recognized in 2019 as one of Outside Magazine's 50 best places to work in the US. When he's not working, Banks is learning to cook and spending time in the Colorado backcountry.
