Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Amy had long been an NRDC member when she met E2 Co-founder Nicole Lederer in the fall of 2005 while working to get Al Gore to Stanford University to give his global warming presentation. She reached out to Nicole to build broader support for the speech and to generate buzz on global warming in Silicon Valley.

Amy is the founder and CEO of Integrated Archive Systems , which provides information technology infrastructure services. She takes a strong interest in how her peers in Silicon Valley are going to grapple with - and solve - global warming. "I’ve always considered myself an environmentalist. Global warming encompasses it all: air quality, melting ice, deforestation, clean energy. Everyone needs to roll up their sleeves and address global warming, and we must address it quickly."

She’s found others who share both her business background and her sentiments on global warming in E2. "It’s always enjoyable to be with likeminded people who are passionate about the environment and, at the same time, have good business sense about how to get things done."

For her part, Amy keeps her eye on developments in clean energy. She also worked extensively with Interfaith Power & Light to arrange free showings of Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" and Laurie David’s "Too Hot Not to Handle" in places of worship in all 50 states and across all faiths during the week of October 2, 2006. She believes it is especially important to involve all sectors of the religious community in the fight against global warming because their leaders’ moral authority reaches far and wide.

In January 2006, Amy joined E2’s Advisory Board, which meets to plan E2’s growth and advocacy direction. In particular, she is helping to devise a strategy to improve E2’s political reach.

"I always say, ’Never underestimate.’ E2 may seem small, but never underestimate the ability of a small group of people to change the world. We have to get up every day and think about how to leave the world a better place for the next generation."
