Leaders,

Robert Smith, Founder and CEO of Dazzle, leads a talent platform that connects companies with independent sustainability and ESG experts worldwide. Robert explains how Dazzle helps sustainability teams access specialized knowledge that was previously only available within large consulting firms, including carbon footprint analysis, human rights considerations, supplier standards, and reporting.

He and Matthew discuss why more than 80 percent of Dazzle projects are run remotely, why Dazzle focuses on freelance engagements instead of full-time hires, and how the “meet the consultant first” approach and taking ownership of the internal decision process help enterprises shift from legacy consultancies to flexible talent.
