    Katie Hilborn

    FOUNDER, MANAGING DIRECTOR

    Originated an AI data center with hydro power already serving rural and at-risk communities in Nepal — then formed the joint venture and, with her co-founder, built the capital formation architecture and Community Trust structure anchoring RIH’s model globally. Of her twenty years in international development, fifteen centered on Nepal — including the 2015 earthquake response — where she built extensive relationships across development, energy, and financial sectors, and originated and completed three critical-infrastructure projects. Her work includes infrastructure and community development projects in Uganda and Bolivia. RIH is now extending that Regenerative Intelligence Infrastructure™ model to new geographies.

    Christopher Gee

    CO-FOUNDER, MANAGING DIRECTOR

    He designed the capital structure, regulatory strategy, and investment thesis that make RIH investable across jurisdictions, and co-architected the community benefit architecture — revenue-sharing trusts and land stewardship frameworks — that anchor RIH’s model globally. Of his twenty years in international development, finance, and technology, he brings deep experience in digital infrastructure and public-private partnership design through work with the World Bank, UNICEF, UNDP, and government partners across Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Previously, he co-founded and served as COO of Shanzhai City, building FinTech and AI solutions for HKEX and the Binance Charity Foundation. That experience now supports RIH’s expansion of its Regenerative Intelligence Infrastructure™ model into new geographies.
