TripleWin’s Cultivate Sustainable LivingTM course provides the context for how personal sustainability supports climate change mitigation.
CultivateTM supports personal action-taking by linking what a person values to sustainability measures they can take.

I’m the founder and CEO of the sustainability consultancy, TripleWin Advisory, where we help businesses develop circular business models and walk their own path of positive environmental and social change.
In my past professional lives, I’ve held digital marketing management positions at XM Satellite Radio, Ziff Davis Media, and Time Inc. I founded a sustainable women’s activewear lifestyle brand called OMALA. And I was an Adjunct Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

I’m lucky to have regular opportunities to speak on corporate and personal sustainability topics. I’ve written opinion pieces for Real Leaders, Forbes, Fast Company, Industry Today, and GreenBiz, and I’m a frequent guest on John Tucker’s Bloomberg Radio Small Business Report.
I’m the author of Planting a Seed, 3 simple steps to sustainable living, which earned the 2022 Silver Nautilus Book Award and was voted one of the top 12 Global Sustainability Books to read in 2022.
