BOARDS
My service on boards has increased over the past decade with my dedication to climate leadership, environmental justice and equity.
This includes helping to establish the Investor Advisory Board at NYSERDA, mentoring at the clean energy proof of concept center, NEXUS-NY, and serving as Entrepreneur in Residence at the Emerging Cleantech Opportunity (ECO) Incubator.
In addition to my mentoring, innovation and investment experience, I bring vision and can-do attitude to the boards on which I sit, plus the benefits of a databased professional network. I’m actively seeking positions from which I can have the greatest impact scaling climate technologies.

NY Climate Action Council
As a result of my experience in climate leadership and technology, I was appointed by Empire State Development CEO, Eric Gertler, to this board, which is responsible for implementing effective climate policy under New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
Women 2.0
I co-founded this global media brand for women in technology alongside Shaherose Charania and Kate Brodock. After serving as COO for three years, I continue to sit on the board of directors.
Impact Makers
As a benefit corporation with a unique structure, the profit from this technology consulting company—as well as pro-bono services—goes to nonprofit organizations. The company has donated over $3.2 Million to charities since 2006. It’s essentially the Newman’s Own brand of the technology industry!
