Molly joined Federal Street in 2014 with over 10 years of experience working in the sustainable investing arena. Prior to joining Federal Street, Molly was Head of U.S. Research for EIRIS, responsible for managing a team of seven research analysts specializing in ESG analytics for asset managers. She also served as Lead Sustainability Analyst for Pax World Funds, where she oversaw proxy voting and researched companies’ ESG profiles using quantitative and qualitative indicators to identify investment risk and opportunity.

Molly’s newly created role as an ESG Research Analyst is a natural expansion of Federal Street’s expertise and reputation as one of the nation’s leading sustainable investing advisory firms. “Most other firms are newer at this; I was impressed by the depth of thinking here.”

Victoria Kumpuris Brown, senior program officer, joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation staff in 2015, bringing her exceptional experience in connecting business and health care to the battle against childhood obesity. Working to engage business around health, Brown views her role as bridging multiple sectors, including the business community, to address the epidemic of childhood obesity and help children lead longer, healthier lives. “Ultimately building a Culture of Health takes collaboration and partnerships,” she says, “and it takes all of us working together with a common purpose.” She believes that the Foundation will raise the bar on engaging businesses and activating the private sector in building a Culture of Health.

Brown’s demonstrated track record of mobilizing the business community around social imperatives began with her previous position as the vice president for Strategic Alliances at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, founded by the Clinton Foundation and American Heart Association. She led the Alliance’s work with the food, beverage, and health care industries, helping them become part of the obesity solution through the facilitation of commitments to business practice changes that create healthier environments for children and families.

Under Brown’s leadership, the Alliance signed a groundbreaking agreement with McDonald’s to increase access to fruits and vegetables and help families make informed choices across their top 20 markets worldwide, impacting more than 85 percent of global sales. She also negotiated a landmark agreement with the American Beverage Association, Coke, Pepsico and the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group to reduce beverage calories 20 percent by 2025 for all Americans. In addition to her work with food and beverage companies, Brown also created and launched the Healthier Generation Benefit, a collaborative of over 20 health insurers and employers extending first ever health benefits for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

She joined the Alliance in 2007, after a decade of experience in the public, private, and academic sectors focusing on issues that affect children and families.

Brown holds a Master of Public Affairs degree from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin and a BA in public policy from Washington and Lee University.

She and her husband, and two children, reside in Dallas, Texas. While she enjoys tennis, spinning, travel, and reading just about anything, most of her spare hours are devoted to family activities.

Jason Jay is a Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management and Director of the Sustainability Initiative at MIT Sloan.

He teaches courses on leadership, strategy, and innovation for sustainable business. Jason engages students and alumni in hands-on projects with leading companies and organizations. These efforts help build a community of innovators for sustainability that includes MIT students and alumni, faculty and researchers, with partners in business, government, NGOs, and hybrid organizations.

Jason’s own research focuses on how people navigate the tensions inherent in the quest for sustainability, as they simultaneously pursue their own self-interest and the flourishing of human and other life. This investigation includes deep case studies of cross-sectoral collaboration and hybrid organizations that combine social and business goals. It also includes action research efforts that help people cultivate authentic, effective conversations about sustainability and escape common pitfalls of excessive moral and intellectual certainty. Energy efficiency has proven a useful context to explore these questions; Jay has conducted an ethnographic study of the Cambridge Energy Alliance, and serves as a research partner and facilitator for the EDF Climate Corps program and its network of companies.

Alongside these efforts, Jason is an active leader of sustainability efforts across MIT. Through the MIT Sustainable Societies Research Group, he brings together scholars from across the Institute to examine the invention, implementation, and transformation required for a sustainable society. He has helped improve the energy and environmental footprint of the MIT campus by founding the MIT Generator and the ‘Greening MIT’ community engagement campaign, and serves as founding member of the Campus Energy “Walk the Talk” Task Force.

Prior to MIT, Jay ran an Internet startup, traveled around the world, taught kindergarten in a progressive preschool, and worked as a consultant with Dialogos International, where he consulted on leadership development and organizational change for major international corporations and NGO’s including BP, the World Bank, and the Instituto Libertad y Democracia.
