Hello! Thanks for checking out my website.
I currently work as Product Marketing Manager for educational software startup GoingOn.com. I recently served as project manager for AZAP Mobile, a boutique development and design firm building mobile phone applications for Latin America and Europe where I led the creation of 75 mobile applications in 3 months. I also launched and ran Cobblestone Solutions, LLC, a consultancy focusing on business development and marketing for mission driven companies. As Program Manager with SVT Group, I developed a Social Return on investment calculator tool that provides a consistent mechanism by which an organization can assess the potential impact and return on investment of disparate programs.
I started my career at Bain & Co, a global management consulting firm. There I worked with Fortune 500 clients in the healthcare, retail, and utilities spaces on issues including growth strategy, cost reduction and organizational performance improvement. While at Bain I noticed how much avoidable waste happens in the business world and so I founded and led an office Green Team, which worked on a wide array of initiatives and aimed at reducing the company’s carbon footprint. My excitement over this side-project spurred me to leave consulting and dive into sustainability.
I am particularly interested in innovations that reduce waste, altering consumer behavior for good, and leveraging the power of business to solve our largest problems. I am an active member of the Full Circle Fund’s Environment and Energy Circle, and I volunteer with Imagine H2O to build an ecosystem of water entrepreneurs. I am an impact investor and member of Toniic. I was once an active blogger on TriplePundit and other green business sites I also served on the advisory board of the New Leaders Council, which aims to inspire and nurture political entrepreneurship. I studied psychology at Brown University.

Had lunch with your mom yesterday and she told me of your site. Great work Ames! I’m on the board of Rubelab here in Eustis FL. We have actually submitted our recharging station proposal to San Fran…

Thank you.
Hi Joseph!
Thanks for your message. My company, SVT Group, has done some work in Ecotourism. We are members of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism, which is worth checking out. This is a network of all sorts of organizations that are working on ecotourism which have come together to create a set of guidelines/criteria, such as the UN Foundation, Rainforest Alliance, Conservation International, and a bunch of others. I think that would be a good place to start.
Best of luck!
