Our shared passion for social and ecological sustainability grew out of our early experiences with the natural world. Though we have each taken our own unique career journey, we share a common goal - to support individuals working in social and environmental impact sectors to thrive while doing work they love. Verte Collaborative, established in 2020, is built around this goal. "Verte" is a word with many meanings - in French, it means "green"; in Spanish, "to see you"; in Latin, "to turn" - and represents our efforts to support the personal and professional development of sustainability professionals.
