Naomi Stone

After graduating with a BS in environmental engineering from MIT, Naomi Stone wanted to bridge the gap between environmentalism and financial prosperity for her industrial clients. To effect real change she knew she needed to communicate with corporate stakeholders so she earned an MBA from Columbia Business School. For the past 19 years, Naomi has served as President and CEO of MugenKioku Corporation, helping companies mitigate pollution. Now she wants to make environmental stewards out of even the most capitalist of societies. This year, she is developing a platform to change global perception of a material’s limited life cycle, recognizing its intrinsic value even after the first…or second use.
