David Plattner is Founder and Chief Visionary RainMan of the RainTrust Organization and is recognized worldwide as a leader in the development of sustainable industries for the benefit of environmental security.

Since 2004, David served the global warming cause by proactively developing RainTrust, an international initiative dedicated to the preservation and conservation of bio-diverse threatened areas worldwide. The reality of his ambition to secure 1 Billion acres by 2020 has met with many twists and turns across all spectrums of finance and marketing agendas but he has prevailed in amassing assets on a large scale while developing strategies and sustainable businesses which are effective in underpinning the fight against global warming.

In the last 3 years David has traveled around the world 15 times to find and engage the top team of international sustainability experts and legal technicians as well as find threatened lands to be placed into the proprietary “RainTrust Conservation Agreement” for the purpose of establishing large land reserves. The development of the RainTrust platform involved literally thousands of meetings hours, conferences, and extraordinary circumstances.

David has thirty years of experience in the entertainment and leisure industries as a real estate developer, investment banker and in the marketing of new products and concepts.
