Ellen Weinreb founded Sustainability Recruiting to fulfill the hiring needs of socially responsible businesses. She brings more than a decade of experience as a consultant with organizations ranging from large multinational corporations—such as Levi Strauss, Hewlett Packard, and Clorox—to start-ups and mid-sized enterprises—such as New Leaf Paper and Calvert Investments.

As a consultant, Ellen drew on her undergraduate training in economics and her master’s program at Yale’s School of Management, to support her clients in creating and implementing their corporate social responsibility functions. Through this experience, Ellen gained a deep understanding of the skills and expertise that are needed to develop a successful sustainability strategy.

Ellen’s knowledge and commitment to the field dates back to the early 1990’s when she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon and supported coffee farmers in developing a sustainable business model. In 1997, during the course of obtaining her MBA, Ellen gained first-hand CSR experience at L.L.Bean where she was responsible for assessing their nascent labor practices program.

Over the years, Ellen has cultivated a broad professional network and continually stays on top of her field. She is affiliated with several professional associations, including Business for Social Responsibility (member), Net Impact (life time member) and B Corporation (certified). Additionally, she has served as a professor in business ethics at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.

Most importantly, as her more than 20 clients attest, Ellen “gets it.” She understands the field of sustainability, knows how to find the right candidate for the position, and places top priority on being efficient and effective. In sum, her client’s success is her success.
