Chris Guenther
Senior Associate

Economic, social and environmental systems are more dynamic and interrelated than ever. Sustainability is fundamentally about whether we remain passive observers – or possibly victims – of that interplay, or else apply our shared values, knowledge, technology and relationships to shape its outcomes for good.

Based in Portland and linked to SustainAbility’s San Francisco office, Chris is a Senior Associate Consultant and a member of SustainAbility’s think tank team. Chris’s consulting work crosses the energy, IT, food and transportation sectors, encompassing themes including strategy, marketing, stakeholder engagement, and communications. In his think tank role, Chris helps oversee and develop the full portfolio of SustainAbility’s research, while specializing in thinking about strategy and innovation, consumers and brands, business case and other topics.

Prior to joining SustainAbility, Chris’s experience included organizing environmental campaigns, editing and publication management, web and graphic design, and IT systems administration.
