      Michelle’s career began in Silicon Valley, where she gained invaluable experience working for top tech companies such as Salesforce and DocuSign. Leveraging her expertise, she transitioned into sustainability, founding clever carbon, a startup dedicated to advancing carbon footprint literacy through engaging educational resources. By making carbon literacy “hip and fun,” Michelle has empowered countless individuals to understand their carbon footprints and make informed choices.

Her work with Women and Climate demonstrates her commitment to creating inclusive spaces where women can connect, learn, and collaborate on climate solutions.

      In 2023, during New York Climate Week, Michelle introduced the Carbon Newbie Summit, an event designed to make climate literacy and action accessible to all, featuring speakers from prestigious organizations like Mastercard, Allbirds, the NBA, and Mubadala. Michelle’s leadership in organizing the Carbon Newbie Summit further underscores her dedication to fostering accessible climate education for all.

From moderating panels to serving as a Master of Ceremony, she has partnered with some of the world’s most valuable brands to deliver impactful presentations. Her ability to connect with diverse audiences and inspire action is consistently praised by event organizers and attendees alike. As Vivian Wood, Executive Producer at Birba Energy, notes: “I’m always on the lookout for game-changing solutions and individuals creating meaningful impact. Michelle’s support at our CCUS Forum in Doha was nothing short of exceptional.”

      What Is Carbon Footprint?! A Tale of Resilience, Innovation, Perseverance, and Creativity

      Michelle Li Speaking Testimonials

      Michelle Li was a keynote speaker at our annual Tech Conference. Michelle was a consummate professional throughout the entire planning process. Michelle has a masterful understanding of the carbon footprint of common, everyday actions and what is required for employees to feel empowered to create meaningful change within their own companies. Her talk was engaging, timely, and relevant and her “carbon footprint quiz” was informative and fun and fully aids others in making more informed, sustainable decisions every day. I highly recommend Michelle as a speaker for conferences.
