In 1996, I founded the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) to eliminate toxic chemicals that threaten our health. CEH has a track record of creating profound and measurable change that has made our air, water, food and products safer. At CEH, I advised and negotiated with powerful corporate and elected leaders, testified on Capitol Hill, and led an organization made up of highly skilled, extremely effective and deeply committed experts. I stepped down as CEO in January 2023 to make room for the next generation of leadership.  Please join me in supporting the important work of CEH and their new CEO Kizzy Charles-Guzman. 

Prior to CEH, I worked for the Tibetan refugee community in Dharamsala, India to create a solid waste management plan, and cared for the sick at Mother Teresa’s Kalighat mission in Kolkata. I also worked for the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) in The Hague, and in Washington DC at both the US Dept of Energy and US EPA.

I’m a recipient of the Compassion in Action Award given by the Dalai Lama Foundation as well as awards from the California Wellness Foundation and the US Secretary of Energy, and currently serve on the boards of the AYA Research Institute, Camp For All Kids, International Pollutants Elimination Network and Kreddha.

Today, I am moved to partner with those in the private, philanthropic and non-profit sectors who aspire to change the world. Specifically, I am bringing my strategic lens to support the most important work, including:

• Coaching decision-makers on the largest challenges they face,
• Supporting the creation of organizational cultures of respect & shared community,
• Creating and implementing programmatic, fundraising, and philanthropic strategies that empower real change in the world,
• Eliminating plastics from our lives,
• Defining and implementing effective climate change solutions,
• Crafting genuine, inspirational, and effective communications,
• Building authentic relationships between private companies and non-profit organizations, and
• Bringing increased mindfulness to work cultures.

I am thrilled to start this new season of my career. So far, I have been honored to work with inspirational organizations, including:

Private Sector:

Most importantly, I report directly to my co-supervisors:  Dylan Green, born in 2007 and Juliette Green, born in 2008.
