As CEO of the Rainforest Alliance, I lead a global team and network dedicated to creating a world where people and nature thrive in harmony. With over 25 years of experience in sustainability, business transformation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, my career has centered on turning ambitious environmental and social goals into actionable strategies and scalable impact. I believe in the power of markets and partnerships to drive positive change. At the Rainforest Alliance, we are reimagining sustainability certification and supply chain engagement to address urgent global challenges—climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequity—by empowering farmers, forest communities, and companies to adopt more regenerative and equitable practices. Previously, I held global leadership roles at The Nature Conservancy, Nike, Unilever, and The Estee Lauder Companies, where I pioneered sustainable business and innovation initiatives, built cross-sector coalitions, and advanced nature-based solutions at the intersection of business and nature. I am passionate about systems thinking, innovation, and fostering a culture of collaboration to create lasting value for both people and the planet
