Who I am

I’m a circular packaging and supply chain advisor working at the intersection of packaging and agriculture, helping brands move from sustainability claims to sustainability outcomes. I’m best known for building circular pathways for PET thermoforms in produce packaging, including developing North America’s first clamshell-to-clamshell recycling program grounded in real-world supply chains.

When advising teams—from marketing to distribution—I consistently ask one question: are we designing for the perception of sustainability, or for solutions that can be measured, validated, and defended? Using life cycle assessment, existing data, and deep supplier knowledge, I help teams balance functional and environmental performance by pressure-testing assumptions, because sometimes commonly accepted “sustainable” solutions don’t perform at scale in practice.

As a strong project manager who embraces complexity, I help organizations identify and manage tradeoffs and translate technical, regulatory, and supply-chain realities into clear guidance brands can confidently stand behind.
