I believe small actions each day by all of us can deepen our relationship to nature and spur awareness+action for a better environment.I am an experienced leader of sustainability-focused food businesses and brands in the U.S. and Canada with a track record of success in general management, sales, marketing and manufacturing--working both in corporate and PE roles. I enjoy building trust with teams through communicating a clear vision, simple strategies, and leading with my heart. I love a challenge and have transformed brands and businesses, improving both sales and profit performance through a focus on better consumer health, carbon reduction, and improved farming practices.I am on a personal mission to improve environmental awareness in the United States through advocating a deeper connection between individuals and the land. I have done board work for sustainable associations and have published writings on the importance of land, nature, and caring for the environment.
