About Us
History
SEAM was born out of a conversation between two friends after church in July 2020.
Rob Stewart was discussing his retirement plans, going to university to study values-based economics, with Chris Baring-Gould. Out of that conversation, SEAM was born.
Chris persuaded Rob that putting his ideas into practice would be far more useful than studying them. Chris and Rob went through a long period of discernment before deciding on the best direction for SEAM. They invited talented professionals who shared their values to join them.
The journey has been one of continuous discernment about how the SEAM team could use their talents and experience to save the planet and serve the disadvantaged.
We are very grateful for the many opportunities that have opened up for us to date and are really excited about what the future holds.
