John Fullerton

John Fullerton is an unconventional economist, impact investor, writer, and, some have said, philosopher. He is considered the architect of Regenerative Economics, first conceived in 2015 in the work “Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Patterns and Principles Will Shape the New Economy.”

After a successful 20-year career on Wall Street where he was a Managing Director of what he calls “the old JPMorgan,” John listened to a persistent inner voice and walked away in 2001 with no plan, but many questions. A few months later he experienced the events of 9/11 firsthand, and after the 2008 Financial Crisis, John created the Capital Institute to explore ever deepening questions about the future of capitalism.

John’s revolutionary ideas have been met with wide, global acclaim through his writings, talks, and his 8-week online course “Introduction to Regenerative Economics.” A member of the Club of Rome, John was featured in the 2021 award winning documentary, Going Circular, with James Lovelock. He lives in Stonington, CT.
