Testimonials from my Customers, Clients, and Colleagues

“Gretchen not only has incredible knowledge about sustainability and the recycling industry, but she is also an enthusiastic and gifted communicator. I first met her when she worked with a town committee on which I was a member, and she was great at translating complicated details to our group. I have since had her give several guest lectures to our graduate students (in a program focused on food and environment at Tufts), and they regularly tell me she is the best guest lecturer of the semester. Working with her has benefited both my community and my students.” - Sean Cash, Chair, Division of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Tufts University

"Gretchen worked with rStream as a consultant focused on waste industry dynamics and the opportunities to apply our technology at multiple types of stakeholders. She is an exceptional communicator, and she has an extremely valuable combination of corporate experience and entrepreneurial skills.” -Ian Goodine, co-founder of rStream

“Gretchen is a wealth of knowledge and a passionate change maker in the world of sustainably and circularity. She was always willing to teach me something new, and was a trusted expert whenever my team had a technical or strategic question. The type of expertise she offered was invaluable and enabled us to make decisions with confident while engaging the right stakeholders along the way. I’d consider myself lucky to work with her again someday!” - Radhika Kanaskar, Founder of Champions of the World

“I have worked with Gretchen in multiple capacities, in her role as Chair of MassRecycle, in her work as a Co-Chair of programs for the Environmental Business Council (we are both members of the EBC), as a member of the Nominating Committee of Keep Massachusetts Beautiful, and in her capacity as Recycling and Organics Coordinator at Republic Services. Gretchen is very smart, thoughtful and dedicated to practical solutions to the multiplicity of challenges and cross cutting currents in environmental protection and compliance, especially in the solid waste and recycling world. She listens well, is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.” -Thomas Mackie, Counsel at Verrill
