Sustainability & ESG Counsel
I’ve spent two decades helping companies turn sustainability into strategy — and ESG frameworks into something more than a compliance exercise.
This work includes:
• ESG reporting, gap analysis, and disclosure strategy — including work with Koch Industries, Abercrombie & Fitch, a Class 1 U.S. railroad, and an early-stage EV company
• ESG investment framework design for global asset managers managing $270B+ in assets
• Fluent in MSCI, DJSI, SASB, TCFD, and ISSB reporting Sustainability strategy works best when it’s not treated as separate from talent strategy or innovation. That’s the throughline across all of my work: strategy, sustainability, and inclusion are one network of value creation, not three competing priorities.
Transformative Markets
Transformative Markets explores what it will take to build markets that meet human needs without sacrificing our future — markets that treat sustainability as a core function, not an add-on.
The book makes the case using the fragility exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic: too many people live on the edge of basic survival, and the markets we rely on every day need to change. Rather than relitigating who or what is responsible for today’s climate and economic pressures, it focuses on solutions — a roadmap of ten concrete, actionable steps for turning today’s markets into ones that create value for everyone.
“Transformative Markets debunks the myths around sustainability. With concrete case studies, it offers a blueprint for how sustainability is the solution for people, for planet, and for profit — it’s a win-win-win.”

In March 2021 Senator Harkin and I wrote a Bloomberg op-ed arguing NASDAQ's proposal to increase board diversity was flawed as it did not consider the value persons with disabilities brings to boards of directors.
My letter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides a number of concrete recommendations for how the SEC can help investors and policymakers better understand how disability inclusion to drives both shareholder and stakeholder value.
