After two decades leading this company that I founded and love so much, I am stepping away from day-to-day leadership at CarbonCure but continuing to support its mission on our Board. And I have full confidence that CarbonCure will thrive and grow even stronger under Interim CEO Kristal Kaye.

#Concrete is essential—but also carbon-intensive. We must rethink and reduce cement. At #CarbonCure, we inject CO₂ into concrete where it’s permanently stored & emissions are cut. Learn more @ The Zero Planet: bit.ly/4mmQOUX Help us accelerate our scale: bit.ly/3UZUZuA
