About Padric Gleason

I wake up every day thinking about how to conserve resources and empower underserved communities—reduce overconsumption, recover and reuse more products and materials, and make technology accessible to everyone.As a leader at Human-I-T, I oversee the teams behind our ITAD operations—everything from Operations and HR to Compliance and IT. Together, we keep thousands of electronics products out of landfills each year and get them into the hands of people who need them most.Before this, I worked in tech startups and global nonprofits—from the UN Association of Mexico to London & Partners, where I helped launch the Mayor of London’s U.S. office for international trade. Along the way, I’ve been a Fulbright Scholar, raised over $20 million for digital equity and climate justice, and built programs that connect technology, sustainability, and opportunity.My work is driven by a simple belief: we already have the tools to build a more equitable, sustainable world—we just have to adopt and deploy them where they’ll make the biggest difference.\"Our problems are man-made; therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants.\"- John F. Kennedy\"The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.\"​ - Alfred Whitney Griswold
