Directors & Officers

  • Angel Robledo

    DIRECTOR

    Passionate yoga and rock-climbing instructor, Angel first came to Cayman in 2005 and has been promoting and developing the rock-climbing and yoga community on the Brac since 2013. This time built on her love of the Brac and the realisation that it deserved protection as a sacred place for humans and nature.

    Angel founded Yogi Wall and co-founded Rock Iguana Ltd. She is a AMGA certified climbing instructor and registered yoga teacher.

  • Tristan Relly

    DIRECTOR

    Developed his love of nature in South Africa, growing up in an area that later became designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1998, one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world. Tristan started climbing on the Brac in 2011 and soon recognised the natural beauty and recreational potential it offered.

    Tristan is a qualified Chartered Accountant and former director with a big four accounting firm. He is excited to be protecting Cayman Brac’s wonders for future generations.

  • William Verhoeven

    DIRECTOR

    First visited the Brac as a child and immediately fell in love. After visiting often for the next 20 years, he finally moved full-time in 2020. A nature-lover since young, he is especially passionate about caves, plants, and the ocean. William firmly believes humans can live in harmony with the Earth and his work in this project is the realisation of that belief.

    William is a entrepreneur and has a long career in software development.

Team and Advisors

  • Shallyn MacDonald

    ADMINISTRATIEF EXTRAORDINAIRE

    Part adventure-seeker, part nature-lover, Shallyn often finds herself in wild, beautiful spaces - typically with a camera in tow. A longtime advocate of protecting the environment and living sustainably, she can usually be found engaged passionately with a stranger about practical ways to eliminate plastics from their life! A more recently discovered love of rock climbing led Shallyn to the wonderful, unique landscape that is Cayman Brac and has highlighted to her the importance of protecting recreational access while we still have a chance.

  • Tansy Maki

    ARTISTE OF THE WILD

    A Caymanian / Canadian professional fine artist based in Grand Cayman for over 21 years. Her work has been commissioned throughout the Caribbean, Europe, North and South America. She has always studied and painted wildlife and nature, drawing inspiration from her travels and the beautiful natural surroundings in the Cayman Islands. Maki’s art reflects her commitment to ecology and preservation. Many murals, sculptures and paintings feature native flora and fauna with the purpose to educate and promote protection of the fragile ecosystems of the Cayman Islands.
