I had the pleasure to get to know Mimi as part of the Cartier Women’s Initiative 2021 Fellowship class. She is an incredibly dedicated social entrepreneur and has had a longstanding career of creating change. She is savvy and innovative in leveraging business as a force for good – and in particularly leading Myanmar Recycles into the world’s first plastic credit scheme. She has my fullest recommendation, and I am happy to be a reference for her and Myanmar Recycles.
