The Future of Sustainability Careers: Conviction Meets Pragmatism | Harco Leertouwer

In this episode of the Sustainable Ambassador Podcast, I speak with Harco Leertouwer, a leading recruiter of sustainability executives, about the The Future of Sustainability Careers. It is a conversation that begins speaking to the current state of hiring, and the implications of the recent pullback in sustainability roles, and from there we speak to what it means for teams, budgets, and opportunities across industries. From there, we explore how the career paths for sustainability professional are evolving, the impact on entry level positions, and the skills that define leaders who can both inspire with vision and deliver impact in challenging times.
