Hello All, I've a quick question. I am looking for a few potential subject expert speakers on the topic of the Circular Economy. Any suggestions out there?

All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Rand, I led the Circular Economy team at Arup New York previously. I’m happy to chat with you. I would recommend Frances Yang, Russell Fortmeyer, and Richard Boyd, all at Arup. Clare Miflin, ThinkWoven and Robin Bass with Google Real Estate and Workplace Services would also be great. Email me directly if you’d like contact information for any of them.

Hi Rand, StopWaste in Oakland did a great report on Circular Ecology, I don't know exactly how that overlaps with Circular Economy. Miya Kiahara at Stopwaste and Frances Yang at Arup worked on it miya@stopwaste.org, frances.yang@arup.com Larry

I thought of Kyle Ritchie's & Eric Corey Freed's new book, Circular Economy for Dummies. Eric is always a great speaker. I can listen to him read the phone book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119716381/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_VA1SCWS2YDFN0K7Q7RVX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Rand: We also interviewed dozens of people for the book, and research hundreds of Circular Economy companies doing very cool things. Happy to share.
