Biography
Kathleen Sellers, PE, leads multidisciplinary consulting teams at ERM that help global companies to meet their business goals through effective product stewardship and sustainability.

Kate has used the content of her books to generate broader conversations through teaching courses at Tufts University, Indiana University, and Harvard University Extension School. She is a founding Board member of the Product Stewardship Society and served as President from 2017 to 2019.
