Sometimes a person is just omnipresent, so you have to check them out. That’s the story with this week’s guest, corporate sustainabilty thought leader, Bob Eccles. A past guest (Shannon Fitzgerald O’Shea) connected us over email because she thought he’d make an excellent guest on the show. At the same time, Angela Larck read a recent article of his, China is no green energy darling. She brought him up on a staff call and we had to arm wrestle over whether to have him on the podcast or the webinar, and I won. (Kidding, we don’t pick winners and losers at republicEn.org.)
Currently a Visiting Professor of Management Practice at the Said Business School, University of Oxford, Bob researches projects focused on corporate purpose, corporate reporting, engagement and stewardship, and private equity. He’s been a Visiting Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management and was a Berkeley Social Impact Fellow at the Haas School of Business, University of California Berkeley. He was a Professor at Harvard Business School and received tenure in 1989.
Hope you enjoy the conversation!
