Proven expertise. Powerful results.

Drawing inspiration from the Naiads of ancient mythology — guardians of springs, rivers, and freshwater — the name NAIAD evokes a timeless connection to life, renewal, and connection. The Naiads were not mere symbols of water; they were protectors of its vitality, ensuring the flow that sustains ecosystems and civilizations alike. In adopting this name, we honor their legacy, embracing the profound idea that water is both a life source and a catalyst for unity, innovation, and resilience.

NAIAD carries this ancient wisdom into a modern mission: to align politics, priorities, strategies, and capital into agreement, where the flow of collaboration shapes a strong, resilient and prosperous future.

Our Story

NAIAD is a new global foundation dedicated to transforming how the world uses its most essential resource and economic asset - water.

NAIAD’s philosophy brings an intellectual affinity for pioneers and frontiers, a curiosity for the mechanics of finding our own limits towards an “extension of the domain” - not of the struggle, but of the possible.

NAIAD’s mission is to disrupt traditional views to water management by combining innovative incentive and coordination systems, market dynamics, and compelling storytelling that drives priority and strategy alignment and agreement.

Moving beyond platitudes, NAIAD redefines water as a vital economic and natural asset, uniting parties across sectors and geographies to scale investment flows and deliver solutions for a resilient future.

We are building a culture where people of different backgrounds and points of view can work together, challenge each other and align on new ideas.

We are humble enough to consider different viewpoints. And experienced enough to use them to build something powerful.
