About Ben May

A passionate and solutions-oriented environmentalist, I am working towards a more sustainable and equitable future.I currently work at Costco as their Sustainability Manager to lead the implementation of their climate action plan for non-fuel Scope 3 emissions. This role is a secondment from BCG, where I’ve worked as an associate on projects including: strategy for emerging space technology, analysis of US competitiveness in new clean technologies, expansion of operations for non-profits, operations excellence for industrial goods companies, and GTM strategy for new tech platforms.Most of my experience is in the climate policy, education, and organizing space. Founder of ThinkOcean, one of word’s largest youth-led ocean education/organizing non-profits, I’ve spent a decade in ocean advocacy. In 2020, I worked full-time on the Biden for President campaign, serving in 15 states and 3 time zones. During the general campaign, I managed our field operations for much of Philadelphia, helped structure our youth/latino outreach efforts, and later led the city-wide virtual GOTV effort.
