Corey brings consumer insights and creative strategies to the role of Senior Sustainability Manager at Honeycomb Strategies. While focused on the client’s needs and carbon goals, how the story is told to consumers and customers is always on her mind. Corey’s impact journey started while working at Clif Bar where she learned how business can have a triple bottom line. She took those principles and practices along with her throughout her career while building international partnerships with well-known outdoor brands. Impact measurement, actionable goal setting, and reporting on reduction are where Corey helps our clients thrive.  As a leader in the B Corp community and B Local Colorado board Co-Chair, Corey also comes to client projects with more than just profit on her mind. She peels back how multiple stakeholders are affected by decisions and the impact of opportunities. Corey also has experience with carbon accounting through measurement tools such as Climate Neutral and can help create stories from carbon offset project partnerships.  Corey lives in Denver where she spends as much time as possible outdoors.
