About Doug Sharo

Sustainability specialist who loves the constant challenge that comes with developing and implementing both short and long-term strategies. I believe increasing transparency can drive change, both internally and externally, in a way that builds trust and creates partnerships. I\'m always willing to travel, speak in front of a crowd, listen to others and learn every day.Management philosophy: Inspire people to care about their work. Hire for attitude not skills. Provide a long-term view on what we are all working towards. Lead, don\'t manage.Specialties: Instituting processes to drive strategy, data analysis and metrics, turning complexities into insights, thinking differently.
