Bio
Linda Powers Tomasso
Few sustainability professionals combine such deep product understanding, on-the-ground assessment of the Chinese building market, and familiarity with local cultural dynamics as does Anjanette. She came recommended from the U.S. side of the green building sector as someone with a fundamental grasp of the constantly moving construction sector toward the direction of greater occupant health. As an environmental policy research looking at the public health dimensions of China's urbanization push, I looked to Anjanette in her role as Sustainability Consultant at GIGABASE to assist me with policy tools and explanations of often difficult-to-penetrate product sector formulations, health indices and verification capacities. All these she provided with promptness and certainty. Moreover, Anjanette is articulate, knowledgeable and diligent in follow-through and a pleasure to have as a business associate.

Her participation in helping to maintain the advancement of environmentally sustainable design and its many facets, will always be a source of continuous inspiration.
