the people behind ria

ria is stewarded by a cross-disciplinary core team. Each member brings deep experience across systems—finance, entrepreneurship, ecology, education, investing and regenerative practice—enabling us to weave in understanding and build coherent action.

We are united by a shared commitment: to cultivate the capabilities, relationships, and regenerative wisdom needed to reimagine the role of capital in service of life.

our story

ria emerged from the shared journey of André and Ebru: life partners, business partners, and long-time stewards of capital committed to finding a more life-giving way to invest. After decades working within traditional systems of finance and impact, they reached a point where the existing tools and paradigms no longer aligned with what they knew to be true.

What began as a personal reckoning became a deeper inquiry into how capital might serve the vitality of living systems. Drawing from their lived experience and regenerative practice, they created ria as a space to reimagine investing, not as a technical act, but as a developmental and relational one. ria is both an offering and an invitation: to walk this path of regeneration together.
