From Packaging to Purpose: My Journey into Sustainability Leadership
When I first stepped into the world of sustainability, it wasn’t part of a grand plan—it was a pivot born out of opportunity. My company said, “Take a shot at sustainability” while waiting to place me in another role. That one “yes” turned into a career-defining path that now places me at the helm of sustainability at Baxter, where I’m shaping how we Save and Sustain Lives through environmental and social impact.

Driven by Curiosity, driven by experience
My journey began in packaging, where I spent nearly two decades in roles spanning quality engineering to commercial leadership. Living as an expat and running a small business in Europe broadened my perspective, but it was the unexpected invitation to explore sustainability that sparked a new passion. I didn’t know where it was going to go—but sometimes, you just say yes.
That curiosity and openness to possibility have defined my career. I often advise early-career professionals, “Don’t say no. Be curious. You never know when that one yes will turn into something bigger.”
Sustainability As a Business Imperative
My approach to sustainability is deeply pragmatic. I’m not just planting trees—I’m walking hospital floors, engaging with commercial teams, and building strategies that align environmental goals with business value. We have to look and act like the rest of the business. Sustainability isn’t a side project—it’s a force multiplier. My work spans everything from reducing water usage in manufacturing to helping sales teams understand how sustainability can close deals. If you have a choice to be sustainable or not, most people will choose sustainability—especially if it doesn’t cost more.
