Jennifer Pitzer
Co-Founder/Managing Director
GUARDIAN is a sustainability solutions integrator focused on two business components that have been missing in
sustainable developments:
1. Integration of utilities and infrastructure: to maximize efficiency among systems, reduce CAPEX and OPEX,
provide reliable services especially during natural disasters, and expand community infrastructure
services. These actions result in a high performance ‘utility and infrastructure ecosystem’.
2. Profitability: develop project components that generate revenue in a shorter time and with high IRR as
the top business priority.
GOALS
1. Establish Pubic Private Partnership
2. Capture 30% of current tourism market
3. Integrate project infrastructure (energy, water, waste, transportation, etc.) to increase efficiency
4. Create jobs through internships and on-the-job training
5. Keep higher percentage of tourism expenditures on-island
6. Secure self-funding of project within five to seven years
GUARDIAN’s sustainable infrastructure includes the following technologies and systems:
 Renewable Energy: solar electricity using photo-voltaics and/or wind turbines
 Solar Desalination for potable water
 Greywater reuse, including rainwater harvesting
 Ecological wastewater treatment converting wastewater to greywater for use in our landscapes
 Sold Waste recycling and conversion to electricity
 Organic waste composting for use as fertilizer
 Eco-transportation vehicles used on-site, including solar-powered golf carts, segways, and biofuel buses
 Solar-powered night lighting
 Smart grid for both electricity and water conservation efficiency
 ‘Green’ building materials, including FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment)
 Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) that monitors performance BEFORE systems failure
 Food Production when applicable; i.e. greenhouses, vertical farming, hydroponics, and aquaculture
 Utility & Infrastructure Integration
GUARDIAN’s business model is based on tourism. We build tourism-connected businesses that keep revenue on-island. Our

GUARDIAN Components
Capacity Building – creation of
meaningful management jobs for local
residents
Training – internships and on-the-job
training for students and adults in
Sciences, Economics, Technology,
Innovation, Health & Nutrition
Sciences – immersion in ecosystem
sciences: biology, botany, geology,
paleontology, oceanography, astronomy,
physical sciences
‘adventure tourism’ approach is comprised of an integration of mari-tourism (sea), geo-tourism (land), agri-tourism (food
production) and cultural-tourism (communities). The following example is based on a $ 500 M USD tourism market. GUARDIAN’s
target is to capture 30% of the island tourism expenditures and to achieve self-funding by Year 7 at a minimum.
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP)
Our development finance strategy is based on the formation of a Public Private Partnership. The core PPP members, their roles
and Returns (ROI) are outlined in the following two graphs.
GUARDIAN management team works with the P3 development parties to establish reliable revenue streams to
ensure investment returns to each stakeholder. Different revenue scenarios will emerge for each project.
Example of Project Revenue Sources

Economics – immersion in sustainability
economics, creating capital
independence as project mission and
embedded ecosystem services value
Technology – exploration of new and
existing technologies that enable
sustainability missions, including food
security, renewable energy, water
security, and waste to energy
conversion
Innovation – exploration of innovative
sustainability solutions in sciences,
economics, technology, health &
nutrition. Learning to think ‘out of the
box’.
Health & Nutrition – immersion in
improving and sustaining human health
through nutrition, exercise, sport,
recreation, and mindfulness.
Example using a Tourism Market of $500M USD per Year
EXECUTION PLAN/GO TO MARKET STRATEGY
GUARDIAN will be deployed in six phases, with the objective of a breakeven finance period of 5 to 7 years maximum, followed by a
20% ROI to investment partners. This occurs in Phase III or IV depending on the project scope:
- Phase I is designed as the ‘ramp up’ phase. This phase requires investments in the $2M to $ 3M range. The PPP is
formed and roles assigned. Land is secured with a long term lease, development permitting is accelerated and
challenges minimized. Project components in this phase are designed to accomplish two key strategies: (1) align project
with existing government, stakeholder, and community programs; and (2) focus on fast construction, turn-key project
components that generate revenue quickly.
- Phase II is designed to bolster Phase I assets, adding component value that complements and advance higher revenue
returns, while adding meaningful jobs to the local residents. Phase I and II are tactical. They are the ‘footings’ of the
longer term structure and objective of establishing a ‘capital independent’ program.
- Phases III-VI represent the building blocks designed to respond to the market. This phased approach allows the project
to grow at the pace the market sustains, adapting and modifying its program assets. The dynamic scenarios keep risk to
a minimum and investment streamlined and focused.

MARINE & OCEANIC SUSTAINABILITY FOUNDATION (MOSF)
Co-founder and Managing Director of the Marine & Oceanic Sustainability Foundation (MOSF), Jennifer was born in California and
grew up on the California coast. Enjoying the mountains and beaches of Carmel and Big Sur, her fondest memories are of playing
in the tide pools and watching the whales migrate. She completed her high school education in Geneva, Switzerland and earned a
degree in International Business from the University of Texas at Austin. After 20 years of working in the financial services and
technology industries for both public and private organizations, she began working as a freelance consultant in 2003.
First and foremost, Jennifer is an optimist and an ocean devotee! Eager to get involved in marine conservation efforts, Jennifer
and her husband were discouraged by the grim statistics and frightening scenarios coming from many existing conservation
groups. After speaking with people across the globe and seeing a enormous disconnect in the sharing of positive, functional, and
successful marine conservation efforts, they began collaborating with local NGOs, marine ecology professionals and others to
identify successful marine conservation efforts, educational opportunities and models for addressing marine challenges.
Since co-founding MOSF in 2013, Jennifer has dedicated her time to developing sustainable, geotourism-based citizen science
programs that focusing on marine conservation, education and stewardship. MOSF is very conscious of the importance of
respecting and supporting the communities in which they work. Tourists, volunteers and marine scientists come and go from a
geographic area, but it is the residents of a community that depend on the natural resources of their home to support themselves
and future generations. MOSF works with universities, governments, business, community leaders, marine scientists and the
hospitality industry to design and operate fun, engaging and needed programs that benefit visitors and residents alike. All
programs are established based on marine conservation and restoration needs that have been identified by scientists that working
in the field on a daily basis.

Gaie Alling
Mark van Thillo
Planetary Coral Reef Foundation (www.pcrf.org )
Gaie Alling and Mark Van Thillo have been conducting coral reef research, data collection, and restoration for over twenty years.
Their primary goal is to inspire intelligent stewardship of our earth’s biosphere. They achieve this objective by (1) implementing
conservation programs which are community-based and sustainable; (2) creating educational programs that inspire people to care
for the biosphere and get involved to make a difference; and (3) providing an unbiased, “trusted source” of data about the
biosphere to users around the world. PCRF is unique in having a sailing ship to voyage the seas and work off remote Islands in
Asia. Mir’s homeport is located at Raffles Marina, Singapore
Gaie and Mark work hand-in-hand with indigenous peoples to help solve environmental challenges. They are “called to action” by
the families living on shore who suffer from the decline in fisheries and not enough means to live in the modern world. Because
each situation is different, they learn about the unique challenges and provide expertise to empower the community to learn how
to more effectively steward their land and sea.
