“‘Unstoppable’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I'm asked about Guru. I had the pleasure of working with Guru at Columbia Sportswear / Mountain Hardwear - watching her build the Mountain Hardwear Sustainability program and be responsible for implementing Columbia Sportswear Company's social responsibility and compliance programs for all manufacturing in the Americas. Since then she has taken her work to the next level making product more sustainable. I was always inspired with Guru’s creativity and ability to enroll others in her ideas—even people who initially had different points of view. Guru would be an amazing asset to any team. ”

Here’s what getting married taught me about generative AI… Just kidding. I did change names though so don’t be alarmed if Erik Lagerblad emails you.
