As a systems-thinking professional with a unique blend of operational and strategic expertise, I mainly focus on sustainability in the corporate world. I geek out on anything Zero Waste, and thrive in the cross section of sustainability analytics, operations and long term strategy.
I speak business and breathe environment.
For the last two years I have been out exploring the four corners of the world. After visiting 23 countries, traveling 140,000 km (6000 of which by bicycle) and spent the night in 167 different 'homes', I have returned to the Bay Area full of inspiration and ideas, and am seeking to join the corporate sustainability world again.
