WORK HISTORY
Director, Social Impact & Community @Eataly
Toronto, ON, CA
Responsible for the sustainability agenda for North America, working alongside our global sustainability team in the EU to embed ESG within the core functions of the Eataly business, ensuring compliance and systemization while also building value in areas where we can have the most impact. As part of this function and the goal to use education as a vehicle for social impact, I led the impact arm for all cooking schools in North America, simultaneously seeking ways to drive sales while expanding our programming to integrate sustainability imperatives (food waste, youth nutrition, biodiversity).
