Keystone (noun)1: the wedge-shaped piece at the crown of an arch that locks the other pieces in place2: something on which associated things depend for support3 (keystone species): a species of plant or animal that produces a major impact on its ecosystem and is considered essential to maintaining optimum ecosystem function or structure(Merriam-Webster)I’ve spent a significant part of my career working with businesses who operate in the commodities space - oil & gas, electricity, pulp & paper, among others. As commodity providers, the baseline for these businesses is often strictly cost, and as such, for these businesses, sustainability is often seen as a risk to be mitigated. Businesses that operate primarily outside of commodity markets are quickly moving towards perceiving sustainability as an innovation driver. Catalysts across the board are helping with this push, and I’ve worked with many of them as well - scientists, filmmakers, start-ups, NGOs, investors, governments, and more.I strive to be a keystone in moving all forms of organizations towards an economically efficient sustainable future, specifically by engaging with them through a technical, policy, and ultimately strategic lens.I'm always happy to grab a coffee and chat with other professionals about how best to implement positive change in the world.
