Melissa is a sustainability expert with experience spanning corporate strategy, responsible supply chains, employee engagement, communication and disclosures. Trained as an environmental engineer, her career began in cleaning up contamination, diverted when she knew there had to be a different way, and evolved into corporate global sustainability. Her time in the Amazon and a year spent sailing across the Pacific shaped her approach to sustainability as much as her work in consulting and in-house sustainability. Her roots in Costa Rica instilled a deep belief in community and in protecting the environment, values that remain her north star.
