Hayley Cooper

Co Founder & CEO
CE Events & Media

Hayley Cooper is the Co-Founder and CEO of CE Events & Media, a leading platform dedicated to fostering investment, innovation, and collaboration in carbon and biodiversity markets. With a deep commitment to leaving the world in a better state for future generations, Hayley has built CE-EM into a hub where finance meets action, bringing together investors, policymakers, and project developers to accelerate real-world impact in REDD+, ARR, and nature-based solutions.

Driven by the belief that transformative change happens through community, Hayley specializes in curating high-value, outcome-driven events that bridge diverse and often disconnected groups. Under her leadership, CE-EM has become a trusted convenor, delivering actionable intelligence, meaningful connections, and a thriving ecosystem for those at the forefront of sustainability and impact investing.

Hayley co-founded CE-EM alongside Warren Erses, recognizing that while they couldn’t build fancy technology, they could create something just as powerful: a space where knowledge, capital, and on-the-ground expertise converge. Attendees don’t just leave CE-EM events informed—they leave empowered, connected, and equipped to drive real change for the planet.
