Darcy Winslow is a high-powered, heart-centered woman who understands big business and the impact it has on the world. As former Director for Advanced Research and Development at Nike, she launched the company’s 2020 goals for sustainable growth and consumption which committed Nike to zero waste, zero toxics, and 100% closed loop systems.
During her 20 years at Nike, Darcy also held the leadership roles of general manager for Nike’s Global Women’s Fitness Business and senior advisor to the Nike Foundation, which seeks to empower disadvantaged girls through poverty alleviation by creating economic livelihood opportunities.
As a woman who revels in the comfort of the unknown, Darcy has since taken a leap of faith, leaving Nike in pursuit of her own bold dreams of supporting others to develop and implement systemic sustainable design strategies. She currently serves on the leadership team of the Academy for Systemic Change and as a Senior Lecturer in the MIT Leadership Center. She is the founder of Designs for a Sustainable World Collective, LLC.
