Bio
After more than 30 years in Manufacturing and as Manager of Social Sustainability at Ford Motor Company, I now support integration of human rights, ethics and environmental justice in supply chain management for manufacturing, agriculture and service companies. I am on the faculty at my beloved alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University, and my efforts include humanitarian supply chains and sustainable logistics. I am excited to be working on circular supply chain management, and identifying project work, especially in the areas of minerals and electric vehicle batteries.
