Ep. 50 - Sustainability: Anthony Gilbreath

Some topics seem to be a "stretch too far" for this podcast, and the topic for today's episode seems to be one of those: Sustainability.

But is it? Yes, Sustainability -or the lack of it- is a global problem, that manifests itself in climate change, social restructuring, and many other forms. But it also becomes a topic that organizations have to adjust to in their business practices. And some areas of the world are doing this for decades by now - not only being pushed by the desire to do something good, but also because regulations require it and it is just "good business practice".

Our guest this week is Anthony Gilbreath. He has over 20 years experience in oil & gas, alternative energy and sustainability consulting. He authored the CurrentState Sustainability Audit for Caelus as well as many sustainability consulting services for Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). He has extensive international experience (10 years + in Moscow, 5 years + in the UK) as well as experience with blue-chip clients such as BAE Systems, Raytheon, Unilever, Gazprom, Bombardier, Transport for London, Virgin, SAP and others.

He was also a subject matter expert and contributor to Ted Turner and Sam Nunn founded NUCLEAR THREAT INITIATIVE (NTI) study on “High Technology Business Accelerators for Russia”. Finally, he authored the book 'The Ultimate Guide to Greening your Home' in 2010 (https://tinyurl.com/y4j45x4n).
