Tamara Giltsoff’s Summary
Sustainability and business innovation is my passion and practice.
I am a strategist and change agent with a drive to make smarter businesses and better consumer solutions – sustainable solutions that work within the limits of the planet and drive profit and prosperity.
My background combines 13 years working in design, brand strategy and marketing, service innovation, sustainability and business practice. I hold a Masters in Design Strategy and Innovation, with Distinction, and a Masters in Responsibility and Business Practice, with Distinction.
OZOlab is a sustainable innovation group and business incubator. We create, fund and launch a new breed of consumer businesses. Together with the two founding partners of the company, who had already founded OZOcar, we
established OZOlab in 2007 and I now operate as the Managing Director and the Head of Strategy.
OZOlab is a platform to create a new breed of sustainable business, which challenge the current paradigm within consumer categories and focus on quality, sustainability and accessibility together. We create OZO businesses and advise large client companies on sustainable business transformation and innovation.
Our core belief is that environmental challenges provide a rich opportunity for business innovation and value creation. We exist to serve this opportunity and re-write the rules of business and production, because we can, we are small and nimble, unlike the large consumer goods companies.
Treehugger.com is where I write about sustainability and innovation.
Recently I have been retained as a consultant to Ogilvy New York, (The Greenery Dept), to lead innovation opportunities with their clients in the U.S.
