How an Online Course Empowered One Entrepreneur to Launch an Eco-Friendly Boutique
Written by Lauren Landry - Harvard Business School Online Blog
Lisa Cassidy wants to change consumers’ mindset. It’s been a thread of her career since her first job out of college.“I’ve always been looking for purpose,” Cassidy says. “I’ve always had this pragmatic idea of, ‘If something could be recycled, why wouldn’t you just do it? She first explored this concept while working in conservation for what’s now New England’s largest energy provider, Eversource, before transitioning into a marketing role at PW Power Systems, a company that delivers power to industrialized and developing countries. She later founded a consulting firm that promoted green companies, products, and initiatives, before launching an eco-friendly brand of her own—an online boutique called ecoimagine.
Lisa Cassidy Speaks at the Harvard Business School Spangler Center
On May 9th, Lisa Cassidy presented to a crowd of ~100 administrators and professors at the Harvard Business School to discuss the evolution of ecoimagine from a consulting business to an online retailer as a result of her participation in Harvard online business school program.
