Background

About Christi McGee

I’m a strategist and storyteller with 25+ years of experience across public affairs, operations, and sustainability. As Chief Strategy and Brand Officer at Circular Solutions, I help guide the deployment of AI- and blockchain-enabled recycling verification systems for some of the world’s largest stages, including the FIFA World Cup 2026, 2026 Paralympic Games, and LA28.Reagan once said,"trust but verify" and my philosophy is in recycling, verification is the trust. My passion is about turning sustainability ambitions into measurable, defensible impact. My work centers on circular solutions and end-of-life accountability—ensuring materials are tracked, verified, and recovered through real supply chains, not simply reported as diversion. I believe deeply in proof over promises.My career has included leadership roles with Coca-Cola Consolidated, NASCAR (International Speedway Corporation), and national trade organizations, shaping my approach to operations, partnerships, and brand strategy. I love building high-performing teams, connecting the right people, and helping organizations scale solutions that are good for business and better for the planet.I’m grateful to contribute to the global sustainability conversation as a speaker at forums such as the World Recycling Conference, Green Sports Alliance Summit, PolyNext Dubai, and Women Breaking the Mold.UVA grad • NYU Global Sports Management (Certificate) • Cornell DEI (Certificate) • WISE CLT member • Community volunteer
