She plays a key role in advancing Patagonia's mission to address pressing environmental challenges, including achieving carbon neutrality by 2025 and supporting grassroots environmental NGOs worldwide.

Before joining Patagonia, Beth was the Deputy Chief Executive at ClientEarth, where she worked on systemic environmental change through legal and policy initiatives. She also held leadership roles at the RSPB, the UK's largest nature conservation charity. Beth's passion for nature led her to take a sabbatical with Sea Shepherd, where she actively participated in campaigns to protect marine life.

Beth grew up in Tokyo, studied marine engineering, and later earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. Her career reflects a deep commitment to environmental conservation and innovative approaches to tackling global ecological issues.

At the Impact Days, Beth will speak about the role of governance as a tool for advancing regenerative capitalism and participate in the breakout session on alternative ownership.
