I have recently joined Mastercard as Chief Sustainability Officer to further integrate ESG into the heart of the company and activate our global network of partners, customers and consumers to create a more inclusive and sustainable world.

Previously, I led a global team that oversaw HP's Sustainable Impact strategy, governance and programs that focused on the most defining and urgent issues of our time that support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) industry imperatives: Climate Action, Human Rights, and Digital Equity.

My team was instrumental in embedding Sustainable Impact at the core of HP’s 2030 vision and strategy including setting, measuring, and reporting some of the most comprehensive goals in the technology industry. I led the HP Sustainable Impact Program Management Office, responsible for creating an integrated operating structure to drive progress against HP’s aggressive 2030 agenda. I also served as the Executive Director of the HP Foundation.

Under my leadership, HP was named America’s Most Responsible Company by Newsweek for the third consecutive year, was the first and only technology company in the world to receive a quadruple A rating for Climate, Forest, Water and Supplier Engagement Leader from CDP, and topped 3BL Media’s Best Corporate Citizen’s List.

During my more than 10 years at HP, I have served as Global Head of Sustainability Strategy and Innovation, led the program and partnerships to integrate the first HP Learning Studio into the Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan, helped achieve the world’s most sustainable PC portfolio—including more than 50 HP products containing ocean-bound plastics—and helped establish HP’s global ocean-bound plastics supply chain in Haiti that supports jobs and education within the local community. I also helped build the HP Sustainable Forest Collaborative, working with partners to help protect the world’s forests.

I serve on board of directors for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and the advisory board of the Ocean Plastics Leadership Network, I am a deputy advisor on the World Economic Forum’s Champions for Nature community, and the Executive Sponsor for the Black Employee Impact Network, Palo Alto Chapter. I have also served as a faculty member of The Prince of Wales’s Business & Sustainability Programme at the University of Cambridge.

Sustainability and social impact have always been central to my career, from my first job at Ben and Jerry’s, to serving as a management and strategy consultant for Fortune 500 companies, through every role at HP, and now at Mastercard.
