Stories of Impact

Marta Benson, former President of the Pottery Barn Brands

“In my capacity as President of Pottery Barn, it was a privilege to have Danielle as a resource and thought-partner. Together we collaborated on a strategic roadmap to reengage the brand in the Company’s ESG initiatives. She brought brilliant ideas and resources to the table, like our partnership with The Renewal Workshop to launch a renewed textile line to test demand for a circular model. The program was successful in driving demand, attracting new customers, generating national press, and diverting textiles from the landfill.”

Alex Bede, Director of Sustainability, Grove Collaborative

“Danielle turned our values as a company into an actionable sustainability roadmap, and her strategic work continues to guide us. She created clear and impactful goals, stood up high-impact partnerships (The Nature Conservancy, rePurpose Global), and developed investor-ready ESG materials ahead of our IPO. Her plastic-intensity metric (lbs of plastic per $100 of revenue) is still a cornerstone to our quarterly reporting and drives accountability across the business.”

"Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with. From day one, she brought focus and a commitment to adding value, drawing on her deep knowledge of the impact space. Even as an impact fund with more than a decade of experience in the sector, we found Danielle’s insights and frameworks pushed our thinking in meaningful ways. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to collaborate with her and look forward to continuing our work together in the future."
