About Paul Clements
I’m a mission-driven leader who believes business and community impact go hand in hand. With experience in both the nonprofit and corporate sectors, I’ve built and scaled programs that tackle food waste, hunger, and sustainability from the ground up.As Executive Director of Second Helpings Atlanta, I lead a fast-growing nonprofit that rescues millions of pounds of food annually. We’ve expanded our farm partnerships, boosted financial reserves, and launched innovative solutions to meet rising community needs.Previously, I led corporate social responsibility efforts at Whole Foods Market, where I created national programs like Nourishing Our Neighborhoods to strengthen food rescue infrastructure across the country.My strength lies in turning big ideas into action — building partnerships, driving growth, and aligning purpose with measurable results. I’m passionate about helping organizations do well by doing good.
