Jason Youner has been named Senior Vice President of Membership Development & Market Transformation
Sustainability Roundtable Inc. (SR Inc) is pleased to announce that Jason Youner has been named Senior Vice President of Membership Development & Market Transformation.
Jason reports being “humbled and fully energized every day” to be a part of SR Inc’s mission to accelerate the development and adoption of best practices in more sustainable business. On another level he sees himself as doing what he can to help humanity accomplish its most important goal ever— to end the climate emergency that threatens global civil society.
Before joining SR Inc, Jason founded and led Companies vs. Climate Change (CvCC) to enable global companies to learn from each other on how to engage as for-profit companies to make a positive difference in regard to human caused climate breakdown. CvCC succeeded in repeatedly creating highly focused, needed and successful executive conferences in the United States, Brussels and Amsterdam. CvCC was mission driven, content focused and provided a communal forum for sharing best practices of corporate sustainability. Jason describes realizing his “true calling” in 2015 when he founded CvCC and committed to applying all his experience and passion into what he sees as mattering most — “implementing solutions to the greatest threat to every living thing on this planet, and for all future generations.” He brings to the challenge a diverse and multi-faceted 24 year career in event/conference production, sales, business development and marketing before CvCC. Jason received his BA in Sociology and MS in Communications from Clark University and graduated Cum Laude, as VP of Student Council and as a member of the Fiat Lux Honor Society. He has worked in many industries including non-profit, life sciences and software/technology, while being an amateur comedian and actor. In 2006 while part of a core team at a conference company they launched and led the Digital Pharma series — a global multi-million-dollar event series with thousands of attendees annually. The event generated huge excitement right from the start while the internet and social media were rapidly developing. The series explored how the pharma industry uses digital tech for patient/provider communications and treatment. With the onset of the pandemic and the cancellation of CvCC’s events, Jason pivoted and launched CvCC Consulting — a consortium of dozens of experts from around the world. He has come to SR Inc to help it transform the market for services in Corporate Sustainability to be as bold as the crisis of human caused climate breakdown demands. Jason resides in his hometown of Englewood, NJ with his fiancé Patty.
