Ms. Gordon is the CEO of Technology Forecasters, a strategic management-consulting firm helping clients thrive through best-practice supply chains and profitable sustainability. She is a prolific author, including Lean and Green: Profit for Your Business and the Environment, and has been declared one of the “Top 10 Women of Sustainability” by RenewableEnergyWorld.com.
