Mike Tannenbaum is a facilitator, strategist, and operations leader dedicated to accelerating our transition to a circular economy. As former Director of Sustainability Solutions and Optimization at GreenBlue (Sustainable Packaging Coalition, How2Recycle), and Director of Organizational Effectiveness at The Recycling Partnership, he excels at guiding diverse stakeholders through collaborative problem-solving on packaging sustainability challenges. Currently a fractional operations leader and Board President of Circular Philadelphia, Mike helps teams translate sustainability ambitions into operational reality.

Mike lives in Germantown with his partner, Arielle, two kids, Marley and Zev, and doggo named Cooper. When he’s not staring at a laptop, be can be found in the woods, on the drums, or toiling in the dirt of the vegetable garden.

And as someone who strongly dislikes writing bios in the third person, Mike encourages you to reach out if you think he may be able to help you along your journey.
