  Lean Green Way

  Jan 2018 - now

  Principal Consultant

  After having worked in corporate strategic sustainability for many years at Toyota, I'm now helping companies with first-hand knowledge of the challenges of making real sustainable shifts in organizations. I provideconsulting on a range of strategic sustainability topics including assessments, strategic planning, target setting, training, materiality, greenhouse gases, reporting, and zero carbon, water, and waste. My list of clients include Lockheed Martin, Walmart, and CyrusOne data centers. Feedback from clients include that they appreciate that I've been in their shoes before, my solutions are real and not "theoretical" or cookie cutter, and that I appreciate the social and organizational side of sustainability, not just technical solutions.
