Oct 2019 - Present
Returnity designs, implements and manages customized reusable shipping and delivery packaging systems. We pioneer the elimination of single-use packaging - which is wasteful, expensive, and boring. As Head of BD, I leverage my subject matter expertise to enable companies to make the switch to reusables in a way that works best for them. I work hand-in-hand with startups to Fortune 500s to eliminate single-use shipping packaging and advance reusable packaging overall. I often represent the company at retail, packaging, and tech conferences to educate companies and consumers and expand clientele in international markets. I’ve spoken at Fashion for Good and Shoptalk 2020.
