About Tara Lacoe
As an Executive with deep experience owning Enterprise ESG, EHS, and Risk strategy within complex and highly-regulated global organizations, I protect enterprise value, customer trust and its license to operate by governing environment, safety, and sustainability risk as core business issues.By steering organizations through ambiguity, integration, and change, my strategies enabled growth in regulated markets and build governance models that withstand regulator, customer, investor, and auditor scrutiny. Operating at the Board and C-suite level, I anticipate regulatory pressure, govern risk exposure, and translate external requirements into internal controls and disciplined, KPI-backed execution across global operations, supply chain, and product portfolios.

In addition to quarterly reporting to Nominating, Governance & Compliance Committees, I keep our Board apprised of emerging regulations, ESG risk, and EHS performance – providing them with clear visibility into regulatory exposure, safety performance, supply chain risk, and sustainability-related commercial impact.
