Zoe Haseman serves as Vice President, Global Sustainability at Jacobs where she is responsible for developing and implementing Jacobs’ global sustainability strategy.

With more than 19 years of international experience in sustainability efforts, working across both public, private and start-up sectors, she knows a thing or two about what works – and what needs to change, both today and into tomorrow as we look toward a more sustainable future. Zoe’s previous roles include serving as the sustainability technical lead on major infrastructure and transportation programs, including Crossrail, Blackfriars Station Upgrade and Seattle-Tacoma’s International Airport Sustainable Master Plan. Zoe earned a Bachelor of Science, with honors, in environmental science from Manchester University. She’s also completed the “Leading Innovative Change” course at UC Berkeley Executive College.

The World Environment Center is excited for the expertise and global experience that both Kevin and Zoe will bring as WEC Board Members, that will help WEC become even more effective in our mission.
