Our Founders

Sam Feldt

Founder & Chairman

Platinum-selling DJ and producer Sam Feldt has traveled the world ever since his career took off in 2015. Being on the road made him realize he wants to leverage his unique position to inspire his fanbase about environmental issues the world faces and how every individual can adopt changes in their lifestyle. Born in a family of activists - from a very young age, he learned to make conscious decisions and think about the wellbeing of the planet. He currently serves as founder and lead ambassador of the foundation, implementing our Give, Do, Inspire & Empower strategy in everything he does.

Within the foundation, she takes the lead in identifying exciting projects and initiatives to support and establishing solid relationships with our partners.
