About Emma Stewart, Ph.D.

I'm happiest at work when both sides of my brain are tapped: the analytical and the creative! At Netflix, I enjoy bringing science to storytelling, and storytelling to science. We seek to "entertain the world", starting with our (more than) half a billion members across 190 countries. To do that, we need a habitable world to entertain...In my career, I've had the pleasure of helping multiple Fortune500 "category leader" companies develop their sustainability strategies, advising start-ups in the sustainability software and cleantech worlds, leading applied research at the world's top business NGOs and think tanks, rolling up my sleeves on Boards of Directors, designing and teaching the first "Intrapreneurship for Sustainability" courses at Stanford and UC Berkeley's Business Schools, and architecting the first global methodology for "science-based targets", a concept now adopted by >10,000 companies.Selected as a Fellow by The Aspen Institute, I'm honored that my work has been cited in The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, FORTUNE, Thomson Reuters, The Guardian, Quartz, CNBC, CNN, The LA Times, The Economic Times, The Chicago Tribune, Business Insider, Forbes, Philadelphia Inquirer, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, among others.Among my favorite accolades are the Top 100 Chief Sustainability Officers by Imperial College, "Badass Woman in Sustainability" by GreenBiz, a "top 3 speaker" by The Economist Summits, “one of the most powerful women under 45” by FORTUNE Magazine, a “sustainability insurgent” by MIT Sloan Management Review, and one of the “Top 10 Women in Sustainability” by American Builders.
