There are three general ground rules for our team:
- We want to investigate a topic related to environmental sustainability.
- We all need to travel together to a country outside of the U.S. or Canada.
- We want a "thinking" project: a situation where we can really think through a challenge and make a difference on the future of the organization.
Our team has a great balance of strategic, technical and financial analysis skills. In addition to me [she is a market research/project management goddess, specializing in tech], we have:
- A global brand strategist for Nike
- A senior design engineer for Intel.
- An experienced controller with expertise in real estate and shipping.
- A former professor who is also an expert in visual engineering modeling in aeronautics.
Culturally we are mix of people who grew up in the United States, in India and in China.
Thinking specifically about sustainability, is there anyone you can think of we might connect with to find a project? Or do you or does anyone in your network have something? Google would be a total fantasy...if it's even possible...but we most want to do something that requires thought."
