She shares how those experiences  have helped her to be a better leader: to be reflective, to understand different people’s unique roles in a team, and to make difficult choices quickly. She also shares the potential environmental DNA provides, and why more leaders than ever are understanding the need to leverage data to tackle their environmental impacts.
