PAUL RABINOVITCH
President – Terracycle Investments, Inc.
Executive Vice President – Canus Corporation

Paul Rabinovitch started his unique environmental career in the northern forests of Canada. As a treeplanter and project foreman in the reforestation industry, he personally planted over 800,000 trees and oversaw projects that planted many millions more. This early formative experience instilled a deeply held environmental ethic and motivation for achieving restoration at greater scales.     

Mr. Rabinovitch received his professional training from the University of Pennsylvania; where he holds a master’s degree in a unique program that combined urban planning courses at the School of Planning with real estate finance coursework at the Wharton Real Estate Program. This education formed the intellectual and technical basis for an enduring pursuit of sustainability, new urbanism and community oriented development.

Following his personal goal of linking the disciplines of planning, real estate and environmental restoration, Mr. Rabinovitch joined the world’s leading conservation non profit – The Nature Conservancy – as Executive Director of the Long Island Chapter. Mr. Rabinovitch oversaw the protection of thousands of acres, was responsible for the creation of over $800 million in publicly financed conservation programs, and initiated one of the country’s largest shellfish restoration projects.
