Bridging purpose & results: Companies must sustain operational success while implementing strategies that drive growth and deliver measurable impact in sustainability and philanthropy. ~Oni

Where Business Meets Good

With 20+ years of experience leading sustainability strategy, product innovation, and philanthropy initiatives, I help organizations build scalable solutions that drive business growth and social good. Formerly Head of Sustainability at VANS, I now consult with mission-driven companies and nonprofits to advance circular economy practices, equity, and community resilience. Strong organizations are rooted in strong communities.

Impact & GrowtH

Driving Sustainable Impact

With 20+ years leading sustainable business strategy across global brands, I’ve built frameworks that turn ambitious goals into measurable results. My “leverage every resource” approach balances evergreen strategies with digestible short-term wins - making impact achievable for teams at every level.

Scaling Growth w/ Purpose

I understand that companies must sustain operational success while advancing responsible practices - and I create growth pathways where purpose strengthens business resilience, consumer trust, and long-term results. Too often, valuable corners of business - whether raw materials, overlooked processes, or underutilized ideas - are discarded as waste.

Philanthropy & Community

Across every role, my work centers people: establishing sustainability councils, forging nonprofit partnerships, and advancing community well-being alongside business goals. Whether through product donations, equity-driven initiatives, or grassroots collaborations, I design strategies that amplify social impact & organizational trust.

Leadership & Interests

Leadership style: Transparent, visionary leader driving growth through data-driven strategies, technology, and sustainability initiatives.

Personal Interests: Enjoy outdoor activities such as running, hiking, and yoga; passionate about nature, gardening, art, and time by the water. Enthusiast of cooking, karaoke, and reading; consider myself a junior wine and coffee connoisseur.
