About Giri Sharma
I’m a sustainability strategist and design leader working at the intersection of systems thinking, product innovation, and ecological intelligence. My practice centers on building regenerative futures—translating bold ideas into actionable strategies that serve both people and planet. Over the past decade, I’ve led multidisciplinary programs across circular economy, sustainable product development, and impact measurement for global brands, design studios, and consultancies. Whether developing packaging rooted in lifecycle analysis, stewarding nature-centric research, or managing innovation portfolios from $500K to $40M, I bring structure to vision and empathy to complexity. My work spans- Circular and regenerative product innovation - Strategy development and measurement for sustainability initiatives - Behavioral and ecological research on landscape, materials, and consumption - Cross-functional collaboration between designers, scientists, engineers, and leadership I believe Nature must be recognized as a stakeholder in how we design, build, and grow. I’m drawn to projects that challenge extractive norms, restore ecological intelligence, and reframe our models of progress.
