With fifteen years of supply chain experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry, Crystal developed a passion for the circular economy after buying rigid plastics as a category manager in procurement. She has experience working with colleagues and suppliers to design materials that are more circular in nature as well as educating and engaging business partners to understand how their individual actions were critical to collective sustainability initiatives. Crystal joined the U.S. Plastics Pact in 2022 and serves as Director, Strategy & Engagement. She is responsible for overseeing the execution of the U.S. Pact Roadmap to 2025 and engaging individual Activators on their progress toward the Targets. Crystal’s experience leading cross-functional teams and external partnerships is helping the U.S. Plastics Pact in the effort to bring together the entire value chain to move toward the circular economy and solve the plastics waste crisis.
