Jessica Long, Big Idea Revolutionising Business

In episode 5, Andrew talks to circular economy pioneer Jessica Long about the big idea that’s revolutionising business, and what it takes to be a great leader.

For more than two decades Jessica has been helping organisations increase their competitiveness and drive profitable growth while creating positive economic, environmental and societal impact. She is the Chief Strategy Officer at Closed Loop Partners, a NYC-based investment firm that provides equity and project finance to scale products, services and infrastructure at the forefront of the circular economy. She is also co-author of The Circular Economy Handbook: Realizing the Circular Advantage.

In her conversation with Andrew, Jessica talks openly about her life and career and the personal and professional turning points that have shaped her as a leader. She shares her insights into how the circular economy model is reimagining business and business relationships, the recipe for great leadership, and why leaders have a responsibility to use their power to change the things that matter.

Says Jessica: “One of the marks of a great leader is being able to bring people who may not agree with you along towards the right thing.”
