Dylan Siegler develops new strategies that support social impact and uncovers opportunities to use technology to bring about positive, systemic societal change. Previously, at power company NRG, she developed climate change strategy and consulted to the public and private sectors on climate and clean energy. At the City of Austin Office of Sustainability, she led high-profile projects at the intersection of strategic planning and urban development, and at the think tank CMPBS, she was sustainable design advisor for projects from power plants to homeless shelters to libraries.
2020’s events have transformed the business agenda, with heightened urgency to address a global pandemic, widespread economic dislocation, and systemic inequities. Issues such as the climate crisis remain essential and are starting to be seen more through the prism of economic, racial, and gender justice. Businesses can only understand and meet the needs of this new agenda if they simultaneously rethink their stakeholders. This session will provide companies with a new way to identify and engage with the right set of stakeholders to meet this moment, including a focus on people and communities that have all too often been marginalized, not least communities of color.
