Background

About Ashley Barber

I’m a business operations leader with over a decade of experience scaling climate solutions and ag innovation across North America. From early-stage startups to enterprise organizations, I specialize in building the teams, systems, and strategies that turn operational goals into measurable impact. Currently serving as Chief Business Officer at ESMC, I drive strategy, revenue growth, and customer success for outcome-based carbon, water, and biodiversity markets. My work has spanned launching regenerative agriculture initiatives, designing carbon credit programs, leading product ops, and executing go-to-market strategies — all while managing full P & Ls, cross-functional teams, and multimillion-dollar budgets. With a deep foundation in regenerative agriculture, carbon markets, and ESG program design, I thrive at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and execution. Whether scaling a product to 8x customer growth or leading a 4x revenue plan, I bring clarity, momentum, and partnership to complex, fast-moving environments. I'm passionate about advancing climate resilience, unlocking value for farmers and supply chains, and scaling operational infrastructure that supports lasting change.
