Mindy Lubber is the CEO and President of the sustainability nonprofit Ceres. She has been at the helm since 2003, and under her leadership, the organization and its powerful networks and global initiatives have grown significantly in size and influence.    

As a global thought leader, Lubber has inspired many of the world’s largest institutional investors and corporate boards and executives to factor the financial risks and opportunities of climate change, water scarcity, and nature loss into overall strategies. She regularly speaks to high-level global and national policymakers on the need for stronger federal and state clean energy policies that accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more just, and resilient economy. 

Lubber is frequently quoted in mainstream business and financial news outlets and pens regular columns for Forbes.com and Reuters.com. In 2015, she helped secure the necessary business support to get the Paris Agreement across the finish line, leading Vogue Magazine to name her a “Climate Warrior.”  She has received numerous awards and recognitions for her leadership, including the United Nations Champions of the Earth award and Barron’s Magazine's 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance. Under her leadership, Ceres has also been named a top 100 women-led business in Massachusetts by (Boston) Globe Magazine for five consecutive years.

Before Ceres, Lubber served as Regional Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under former President Bill Clinton. She also founded Green Century Capital Management and served as the director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group.
