Author Nelson Switzer

Nelson Switzer

My fundamental professional goal is to identify and open profitable opportunities for my clients that also preserve and enhance social and natural capital – through strategic management and communication. My creative and collaborative style allows me to zero-in on the real issues and find matching solutions to corporate environmental, social and governance challenges. My experience as a strategic advisor includes work with global and local, public and private sector corporations as well as government and the not-for-profit sector.

I am a dedicated problem solver. Through my work, lectures and writings, I work to demonstrate the manner in which businesses and stakeholders interact and influence decision-making.

As Chief Sustainability Officer with Nestle Waters North America, Nelson works to translate the company’s commitment to creating shared value. By listening to our stakeholders, leveraging our experience and working together we move beyond compliance and through sustainability to net value creation.

If you find yourself facing down the steely or indifferent gaze of one or more C-suite executives, ask yourself, are they arguing the merits of the proposal or simply not swayed by my approach?
