#20 Faces of Marketing: Kirsten Quigley, founder of LunchSkins

from Cause an Affect · host Ryan Buchanan

My sister + best friend, Kirsten Quigley, is founder + CEO of LunchSkins - an eco-friendly alternative to Ziploc baggies designed to reduce plastic pollution and sold in Target grocery, Whole Foods, Container Store and hundreds of retailers across North America. Kirsten shares openly about the extreme stress of betting the company on a new product line of recyclable paper bags versus the reusable fabric bags that consumers were using for years. As kids, we had a bunch of weekend adventures at our Maryland farm, but the thing that most defined Kirsten between high school and college was an international trip to Southeast Asia where she discovered that she felt most alive in uncomfortable places and situations that were most out of her comfort zone. That has served her well throughout her life and especially as an entrepreneur.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
