Jonathan Pereira
Executive Director
Plant Chicago

Jonathan serves as the Executive Director of Plant Chicago, the non-profit housed out of The Plant, where he's working to cultivate local circular economies. He believes the circular economy is a collaborative practice, which means collaborating across many sectors (business, non-profit, government and academia). He sees a future where businesses work together to ensure that both the economy and environment are thriving.

Since joining Plant Chicago in 2015, he's guided the organization to shift focus on local systems, both inside and outside of the facility known as The Plant. Plant Chicago now hosts over 4,000 local youth each year on educational programs, works with over 45 businesses to implement, manages a shared use mycology lab, and open sources over 20 different research projects online.
