WORK HISTORY
Managing Director, Consumer Sectors and Business Transformation @Bsr
US
A strategic leader operating at the interface of business, innovation and sustainability imperatives. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and the need for a just transition challenge the basic operating principles of society. Front-line impacts are colliding with bottom-line results and creating new red lines for peoples and cultures. My work focuses on the intersections. I’ve convened businesses to endorse new sustainability commitments; created partnerships to unify value chain players around shared goals; and designed innovation processes to achieve unprecedented sustainability goals. This work has resulted in new, resilient value creation at the interface of defense and diplomacy, and business and society, in the US, Europe and Asia.My role at BSR is to harness the unparalleled expertise of the team for the benefit of leading businesses seeking to scale their impact and create long-term, sustainable value.
