With over 10 years of experience in sustainability and development, Mr. Rouse is passionate about creating positive social and environmental impact through innovative and scalable solutions. As the CEO of BackChannel, a digital marketing agency that specializes in climate-forward technology and infrastructure, I lead a team of talented professionals who share my vision of promoting green products and services that help mitigate and adapt to climate change. I have a Master of Public Administration in Development Practice from Columbia University and multiple certifications in diving and aviation, which reflect my diverse interests and skills.
Prior to joining Climate Commodities, Mr. Rouse was the Sustainability Program Manager at Recycle Track Systems, a waste management startup company that leverages technology and data to optimize recycling and diversion rates. In this role, John managed multiple projects and partnerships with clients, vendors, and stakeholders across various sectors and regions, and developed and implemented strategies and best practices to enhance the company's sustainability performance and reputation. I used my skills in social networking, communication, and writing to create engaging and informative content and campaigns that raised awareness and action on waste reduction and recycling.
