Stephanie is a strategic, data-driven sustainability, ESG and communications leader who is currently Sr. Director, ESG at global talent solutions firm Robert Half. She collaborates across the enterprise to find ways to continue and amplify the company's focus on ethics, integrity, innovation and inclusion, and she stands firm in the belief that she must learn and work each and every day on how to show up as a supporter and collaborator to act in allyship with historically excluded groups.

She is passionate about our planet, politics, and plant-based food (feminism doesn't start with a P but it's in there too), and she spends her free time outdoors on various modes of human and wind-powered conveyances and/or devouring books and puzzles of all kinds.
