Episode Synopsis
Hazel Horvath is the Founder and CEO of Ecolytics, a business management tool that streamlines sustainability work for companies so that impact is easily trackable and better business decisions can be made using these metrics.

She tells us about her diverse array of experiences throughout college, from working internationally to in the nonprofit sector, and how she eventually decided to pursue entrepreneurship.
