Gina Lee is the founder of the Upcyclers Network and is a passionate advocate for businesses that are creating value from “waste”. The Upcyclers Network was founded to challenge our reliance on natural resource extraction and build a sustainable economy where waste is simply a resource out of place.

Gina has over 15 years of experience working in Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Impact in the United States, China, and Germany.  Her past roles include working with the Aspen Institute, the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, and Mercy Corps. Gina has a BA in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Columbia Business School. She believes that social entrepreneurs will change the world and is a judge for the Echoing Green Fellowship Program and the NYC Curb-to-Market Challenge.

Gina is seeking feedback from businesses in the United States that are working to create closed loop solutions for the reuse of material for the creation of the Upcyclers Network. She can be reached at [email protected].
