Nicole spent just shy of a decade with Coca-Cola North America, initially supporting 80 manufacturing facilities, leading water and energy efficiency initiatives and trainings, supported source water vulnerability assessments and source water protection plans as well as managing the recycling programs. She also led customer collaborations through sustainability initiatives across water, agriculture, climate and recycling initiatives throughout the retail, foodservice, travel and college/university partners of Coca-Cola. The last few years at Coca-Cola were focused on circular economy, training packaging engineers to design recyclable packaging, aligning with procurement to incorporate higher recycled content and outreach to external stakeholders to support investment in education and infrastructure to expand recycling access and collection.  Prior to joining Coca-Cola, Nicole created and ran an environmental division of Design & Source Productions, a boutique product and packaging firm in New York City, helping consumer goods companies transition to more sustainable products and packaging.
