| I help forge truly sustainable businesses
at GreenSmith Consulting. I bring to the
table a wide range of skills and
knowledge, an have an extensive network of
resources to further extend the scope of
what we offer, as needed. For both
existing companies wanting to push the
needle greener, and startups needing help
effectively and authentically getting the
message out and navigating the operational
and strategic considerations involved, we
can help.
Getting an MBA in Sustainable Management
from Presidio considerably strengthened my
green business skills, helping make me
attuned to how to do business in a way
that's more profitable, well managed, and
ecologically sound. I see possibilities
where others don't. I make connections
that others haven't yet. I help people to
see them, and know how to best take
advantage of them.
My overarching talent is "bottom lining"
complex ideas, in a way that is
understandable and accessible to a variety
of audiences, internal and external to a
company. After all, if you have the
greatest idea/product/service ever, and
your employees or customers don't see the
relevance to them, it doesn't really
matter, does it? |

| Student of entrepreneurship, leadership
and the environment.
I have been an entrepreneur for a number
of years now, my biggest success being the
founder of OpenTable, Inc.
(OpenTable.com). Since OpenTable I have
been focused on early stage company
development, with an emphasis on being
green. My most recent venture the Green
Business Project – Simplifying the
Greening Processing for Businesses at www.g
reenbusinessproject.com is an early
stage attempt to centralize the knowledge
of the business community into a tool that
will be beneficial to all businesses that
are trying to move in a greener direction.
It is currently focused on Restaurants
with other verticals to follow (such as
banking, retail, grocery,…). Because any
business is so far from being sustainable,
I didn’t feel it right to make a
certification program. This is a “relative
score” rating system in which businesses
will be able to see how they stack up
against each other, hopefully creating a
competitive environment between them to
accelerate progress. |
