Team

Noah Berk 

CEO/Founder

Noah Berk, the CEO and Founder of GreenSpacers, grew up in landscaping, and loves plants, but kept killing his houseplants. He felt there must be a better way to keep houseplants alive and eventually discovered a foolproof system, hydroculture. His passion grew into a business, GreenSpacers; and he set out to create what best can be described as plants for people without green thumbs.

Noah is a seasoned sales professional with experience at both high growth Internet startups and running his own sales recruitment company.  He is currently the driving force behind the company’s vision and sales strategy.  With a background in the plant industry, he is uniquely positioned to lead a revolution in the care and application of indoor plants.
