Senior Manager of Conservation Strategy
-
Nov 2018 - Mar 2022
As one of the organization's Senior Managers of Conservation Strategies, I lead the technical conservation science staff, as part of our Conservation Consulting business. Through this segment of the organization, I support corporate members to achieve organizational sustainability targets for community impact, environmental responsibility, biodiversity, and resource conservation. I facilitate the development of strategies which allow an organization to execute sustainability activities and seek recognition for community investment and engagement programs. In order to advance tangible, practical, and technically sound conservation and biodiversity strategies, I engage external partners who can support the WHC mission and the those essential for members to deliver both business and community value. I develop and deliver environmental and conservation content to companies and partners in support of sustainability goals, community impact programs, and both formal and informal education. I serve as an organizational delegate to industry and supply chain groups, and from there create and influence frameworks for effective conservation project planning, implementation, maintenance, metrics, and recognition at scale.
