Nikki is the co-founder of EcoTuesday & the Ambassador in San Francisco. Nikki spent a year in Thailand, Dubai, & Berlin, interviewing the leaders of the largest businesses in those countries about their long-term company strategies & environmental programs. Very few of these leaders held the environment as important, nor did they take responsibility for their company's actions on the local people or the planet. These conversations affected her deeply. This, coupled with her upbringing in the beautiful Pacific Northwest & travels abroad, inspired her to pursue a career in sustainable business. Read more about Nikki here.
