Leslie enjoys taking on the complex challenges of driving business value through sustainability. Recent clients include an aluminum company, a consumer products manufacturer and Walmart. Leslie has had the privilege of helping these organizations develop sustainability strategies, implement projects that generate business value while lowering environmental impacts, and create incentives that drive more responsible practices from suppliers and stakeholders.

Leslie is convinced that business will be central to the creation of a sustainable future, which guided her career from the non-profit sector to the private sector. Her work with Blu Skye to help businesses discover ways in which environmental and social sustainability can also drive their bottom line has been particularly rewarding.

Recent travels to China, Bhutan, India, and Mexico have reinforced Leslie’s awareness of opportunities and vulnerabilities created by our ecosystem. She looks forward to continued opportunities to work with leading-edge businesses to move in the right direction.
