USEFULL Welcomes Director of Strategic Growth

 

Olivia Kelly, Director of Strategic Growth

I’m Olivia Kelly, and I’m so excited about joining USEFULL as the Director of Strategic Growth. Most recently, I cofounded and ran a digital healthcare company focused on mitigating lifestyle-related chronic diseases. I am now ready to shift my focus from public health to planetary health -- with an emphasis on lifestyle still front and center.

I have always been passionate about sustainability and became concerned from a very young age about plastic pollution, our disposable culture, and how far removed we as consumers are from what we produce. This concern was brought on by a fervent love and appreciation for nature and a strong desire to protect it. I grew up sailing, skiing, swimming and surfing in our precious seas and atop our majestic mountains. These experiences and the unparalleled joy they’ve brought me have shaped who I am, in no small fashion.

Now that I have my own kids, I feel more inspired than ever to be a responsible tenant here on earth, and to preserve the natural habitats that make this life so rich.

Which brings me to why I’m here: USEFULL’s mission to reduce waste and revolutionize consumption resonates loud and clear with me. The company’s product and service make so much sense I can’t believe it’s not already a household name! And I could not be more jazzed to throw my energy behind making that happen. I look forward to taking a few responsibilities out of the very capable but busy hands of Alison Rogers, USEFULL’s founder and CEO!

I’d love to meet you and discuss how we can work together to mitigate waste and emissions from single use packaging.
