My passion is helping teams — both inside and across organizations — to collaborate in service of a shared vision for a sustainable future.
Strategist + Possibilitarian.
Product and supply chain sustainability can be complex. Drawing on 10+ years of corporate sustainability experience and in-depth knowledge of leading tools and standards, I help organizations and multi-stakeholder working groups in the apparel, footwear and outdoor industry uncover what's possible and co-create clear, actionable sustainability goals and strategies that are aspirational yet practical.
Services include:
- “Sustainability 101:” Help your team understand how environmental and social outcomes like biodiversity, climate change and animal welfare relate to your business. Understand life cycle impacts and opportunities specific to your products through hands-on activities, or leave the meeting room behind to see how the products we make impact our world and vice versa through unique, off-site experiences that both teach and inspire new thinking.
- Opportunity Assessment: Overwhelmed by where and how to get started? My approach uses best-available industry tools like the Higg Index, materiality assessment, and knowledge of best and leading practices in the apparel, footwear and outdoor industry to assess your current performance, lay out a clear pathway to improvement, and prioritize opportunities for action.
- Vision creation, goal-setting + action-planning: Successful strategies that withstand the test of time are co-created, imparting true ownership, lasting commitment and forward momentum across all players. I lead highly engaging 1- to 3-day strategy accelerator meetings that result in a clear roadmap, including goals, key actions, accountability, and timelines. We will end with a plan in-hand you and your team can use to communicate intentions and progress with key stakeholders inside and outside of your organization, including key customers and partners.
Project Manager + Facilitator.
Now, you need to deliver on your strategy and show progress on your plans. I help collaborators track progress, maintain accountability and achieve on-time, high quality outcomes they are proud of.
Services include:
- One-time or ongoing project management support for a range of specific deliverables, including supply chain and/or employee guidance material; business case development; or material/supplier/process transparency mapping — a critical foundation for measuring baseline impact, identifying risks and setting goals.
- Working group facilitation: Many of the world’s most pressing sustainability issues — such as climate change and better chemicals management — are challenges that no single company alone can solve. I work with collaborators in their pursuit to achieve common sustainability goals. My approach to group process management is based on cultivating appreciation — that every participant’s unique contribution can harmonize to generate something more powerful any individual alone could achieve. In this symphony, my role as "conductor" is to work with groups to develop and align on work plans and roles grounded in a common vision and based on unique strengths and experience; to uphold individual accountability and maintain focus; and to ensure the group achieves on-time, high quality outcomes they are proud of. I design and facilitate every group interaction, from regular phone or web meetings to large in-person sessions, to generate meaningful results, drive decisions and outline clear next steps.
