About

Bienvenidos, I’m Paula! I’m passionate about the people and processes behind the things we buy and have worked with brands including Nike, Starbucks, and Amazon to future-proof their supply chains. For a long time, I’ve believed that it’s possible (and practical) to build systems that allow us to use natural resources sustainably and in perpetuity, and I’m so grateful to be part of the Closed Loop Partners team working to do just that. In my role, I manage cross-industry collaborations and R&D projects to evaluate new technologies, materials, and markets and drive investment towards solutions that will transition us to a circular economy.

I received my MBA and MS in sustainability from the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!!!) and my B.A. is in Consumer Behavior from Cal Berkeley (GO BEARS!!). Shoot me a line if you’d like to geek out over the any of the above, collaborate on a project, or share your favorite spot to grab noodles. Thanks for stopping by!
