ABOUT: Shari brings 25 years experience in business, marketing and
sustainability. She excels at helping clients to uncover driving consumer
forces, identify changing marketplace dynamics and translate sustainability
into successful business decisions. Shari is an experienced speaker and
thought leader on sustainability. Her recent book, Climb the Green Ladder:
Make Your Company and Career More Sustainable, Wiley, includes extensive
research among hundreds, including sustainability leaders and employees from
Fortune 500 companies such as Campbell Soup Company, HP, IKEA, Microsoft,
Office Depot, United States Post Office and Walmart. The research targets
those who have brought effective sustainability programs to their
workplaces.

She co-wrote Climb the Green Ladder because she understands that 'more

employees. Through her work, she provides the tools and motivation to help
transition companies (and employees) towards a more successful, more
sustainable future. Her work showcases the 6 key themes that underpin
effective sustainability strategies and highlights real‐life case studies to
ensure employees apply sustainability principles at their workplaces.

Shari is passionate about fostering collaborative relationships between
consumers, companies, non-profits and the media, to ensure all voices have a
role in improving the impact of business on society and society on business.
