“The complex, some say intractable, problems we face today require divergence (willingness to rethink existing norms/models) then convergence (willingness to work collaboratively) among individuals, organizations and policy makers. This isn’t easy and I think the most challenging part is making that first ‘leap’. So why do I work for SustainAbility? Because I’m not afraid to jump.”

Based in Washington DC, Mohammed’s work has spanned the energy, technology, automotive and food & beverage sectors and has included ongoing projects with AEP, Cisco and Ford. Mohammed is supporting SustainAbility’s Signed, Sealed… Delivered? research project that will explore eco-labels, trust and behavior change across the value chain. He also currently manages SustainAbility’s trending work.

Prior to SustainAbility, Mohammed’s previous experience at the intersection of business value and social impact was as a Program Manager for the Center for Responsible Business at UC Berkeley and as a Kiva (Microfinance) Fellow in Palestine.
