Zulu Ecosystems, an emerging platform for the regeneration of natural environments, has appointed Tim Ball as its first Head of Product in partnership with Faraday Partners. Following an extensive search of the UK product leadership market across both SaaS verticals and digital marketplaces, Tim’s combined expertise in regulated industries, platform marketplaces and software engineering heritage provided decisive in the appointment of this critical hire. 

Tim is based in London and reports directly to Ed Asseily, CEO at Zulu Ecosystems. Following an extensive period of market discovery and product research, Zulu Ecosystems is entering a growth period as they position themselves as a fundamental platform to determine how various landscape categories can be effectively regenerated. Blending remote sensing, imagery and land analytics with a proprietary optimisation engine and structured planning and reporting tools, Zulu Ecosystems is transforming the way land assets are understood in the context of global sustainability and environmental goals. Identifying and appointing a first product leader with the ability to take an initial product through a full-scale up phase post a funding event with relevant and transferable expertise was critical to the success of the initiative as Zulu Ecosystems fulfils its end-to-end vision for the category of landscape regeneration.

Faraday Partners worked closely with Ed Asseily on this key appointment and the assignment was led by Andrew Banks, Managing Partner, Faraday Partners.
