San Francisco, US - Treelyon, the AI company building the ground truth of the physical world, beginning with trees, the planet's most complex natural asset, today announced the appointment of Dominic Dyer, one of the United Kingdom's most respected wildlife protection and environmental campaigners, to its senior leadership team as a Strategic Advisor.

Founded by entrepreneur and AI expert Abby Seneor, Treelyon captures the physical and biological state of every tree across six dimensions, creating a living biological twin for each one. Treelyon fuses LiDAR, hyperspectral imagery, satellite data, airborne DNA, and in-situ sensing with biological, environmental, economic, and temporal data into a living record of every tree, enabling governments, utilities, forestry organizations, and businesses to better understand, manage, and protect one of the planet's most valuable natural assets.

Dominic Dyer brings more than three decades of experience spanning government, industry, environmental policy, wildlife conservation, and international affairs.

He began his career as a civil servant at the UK's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, where he served for 13 years in both London and Brussels. In 2000, he joined the Food and Drink Federation as Public Affairs Director, leading policy initiatives on healthy eating and supporting the growth of the organic and plant-based food sectors across Europe and North America.

Between 2008 and 2012, Dyer served as Chief Executive of CropLife UK and as a Board Member of CropLife Europe, representing the plant science industry and advocating for innovation to strengthen global food security.

Since 2012, he has focused on wildlife conservation and environmental advocacy. He served as Chief Executive of the Badger Trust from 2013 to 2020 and was a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Veterinary Nurses Council for a decade. Today, he serves as Policy Advisor to the Born Free Foundation, Vice Chair of Wildlife and Countryside Link, and Chair of the Higginson Strategy Nature 2030 Platform, which hosts its annual Nature 2030 Awards in the UK Parliament to recognize political leadership in animal welfare, wildlife conservation, and environmental protection.

Beyond conservation, Dyer has also played a prominent role in transatlantic diplomacy and international policy. He is a Fellow and former Vice Chair of the British-American Project and an alumnus of the American Italian Council. His international work includes chairing summits in New York in 2023 and Paris in 2025 exploring how artificial intelligence can help build a more sustainable future and protect the natural world.

A New Era for Tree Intelligence

Commenting on his appointment, Dominic Dyer said:

"I first met Treelyon's founder, Abby Seneor, in Paris in April 2025 when she joined a panel discussion I chaired on the future of Agentic AI and its impact on our planet. I left that event deeply impressed by Abby's vision and by the way she was applying artificial intelligence to help us better understand, manage, and protect trees.

Treelyon is operating at the forefront of AI and emerging technologies for tree intelligence. Abby's expertise, foresight, and commitment to using technology to benefit both people and the planet are truly inspiring.

I am delighted to join Abby and the Treelyon team as we work together to protect one of Earth's most important natural resources. Trees are fundamental to tackling climate change, improving air quality, supporting biodiversity, and creating healthier, more resilient cities for future generations."

Abby Seneor, Founder and CEO of Treelyon, welcomed the appointment:

"Dominic is one of the most respected voices in environmental policy and wildlife conservation. His experience spans government, industry, conservation, international relations, and public advocacy, an exceptional combination that will strengthen Treelyon's mission as we expand globally.

As Treelyon builds the ground truth of the living world, beginning with individual trees, Dominic's strategic insight, extensive international network, and decades of environmental leadership will help accelerate our mission and forge stronger collaborations across governments, industry, academia, and conservation.

As AI evolves from language models to world models, access to trusted, continuously updated measurements of the physical world is becoming essential. While today's AI systems are trained largely on static internet data, the next generation will depend on fresh, real-world observations to understand and reason about dynamic environments. By creating a living record of every tree, Treelyon is building the foundation that enables better decisions for nature, for industry, and for intelligent systems.

We are thrilled to welcome him to the Treelyon leadership team."

Treelyon continues to expand its global partnerships as it develops AI-powered solutions that transform how trees are monitored, managed, and valued. By combining satellite imagery, drone data, LiDAR, and advanced machine learning, the company is creating the digital infrastructure needed to help governments, cities, utilities, forestry organizations, and businesses make better decisions for people, nature, and the climate.

About Treelyon

Treelyon (pronounced trillion) is building the ground truth of the physical world, beginning with trees. It fuses LiDAR, hyperspectral imagery, satellite data, airborne DNA, and in-situ sensing with biological, environmental, economic, and temporal data into a living record of every tree: how it grows, what it risks, and what it's worth. The result is a measured record of the living world that can be valued, managed, and underwritten like any other asset. Headquartered in San Francisco with an expanding international presence, Treelyon works across forestry, utilities, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems to put value into nature by first measuring it.
