Cheryl is an entrepreneur and journalist who works at the intersection of business and social change. She is co-founder and CEO of Flip Labs, a social innovation design firm. The company’s first foray into systems work was tackling the global problem of overfishing through its Future of Fish initiative, which Cheryl led for seven years. The project became a non-profit innovation hub that supports the collective impact of entrepreneurs whose ideas help end overfishing. Future of Fish was one of two national finalists in the 2012 Buckminster Fuller Challenge, which recognizes insightful system approaches to complex problems.
