About

I have always been fascinated with waste and our relationship to consumption especially when contrasted across countries and cultures. Think Zero LLC is a firm I co founded to work with companies on setting and achieving their sustainability goals as it relates to waste. Since launch, we have worked with globally recognized brands on strategic and operational issues related to waste. Not only do we work on the strategy and waste reporting, but also get dirty by opening bags and sorting waste. Our hands on knowledge of waste and materials and how people behave enables us to be creative and effective in the work we do. I have a particular interest in how businesses can transform their operating models, products and services to support environmental sustainability. contact: ushma@saavagroup.com or ushma@thinkzero.com Specialties: Strategy, Strategic Planning, Partnerships, Product Management, Business Operations, People Operations, Business Development, Data Analytics, Communications, BI Tools (Looker, Tableau, SQL)
