Victoria Zelin

Sustainability Executive. My passion is helping humanity shift into a new paradigm in which we thrive--economically, socially and culturally--while stewarding our finite environmental resources.

I am the co-founder of Possible Planet (possibleplanet.org), a 501c3 nonprofit committed to restoring the earth, regenerating communities and developing innovative financing to bring about the sustainable world we know is possible (e.g., financing for energy, housing, etc.).

I specialize in enrolling people in compelling opportunities for growth, transformation and wealth of all kinds. I have done this in sales roles in major companies including: Deloitte, Lee Hecht Harrison, and CSC/Index, as well as for boutique consulting firms. I get to the heart of the issue, drive to closure, and maintain strong, trusted relationships over time while stoking the passion to make a difference. I am effective in helping people and organizations shift their paradigms, or ways of thinking and acting.

I am a "connector." Across my professional and personal life I have provided individuals and organizations with networking and business connections, coaching, feedback, actionable ideas and advocacy for their interests.

Educationally, I have an MBA from Yale and a BA from Duke, Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude.

In a survey of colleagues, I have been described as: strategic, insightful, responsive, creative, articulate, persuasive, enthusiastic, empowering, elegant, poised, straight-forward, tenacious, resourceful, analytical, organized and reliable.
