Dr. Dan Vermeer (Founder and Director, EDGE Center) began his professional journey in rural Nepal and India, where he saw the impacts of big companies on the "powerless periphery". He made his way to Coca-Cola, advising corporate leaders on "wicked problems" in water and sustainable agriculture, before ending up at Fuqua. In this episode, Dan discusses his winding career and life path, as well as his perspectives on current environmental issues (climate tech funding, public-private partnerships, energy transitions for developing countries, ESG, greenwashing, environmental justice).
