SERI’s Board of Directors comprises a diverse group of individuals representing a wide range of stakeholders throughout the electronics lifecycle. The Board of Directors enables us to understand and incorporate the political, sociological, and economic dimensions – not just the environmental and technical – into the solutions we help craft. As we continue expanding our efforts to make electronics sustainable throughout their lifecycle, our Board also continues growing.
Today, we’re pleased to welcome our newest Board member, Joan Motsinger. Joan brings over 30 years of experience in technology, operations, and executive leadership to the Board. Joan’s most recent corporate role was with Seagate Technology, where she led a broad range of governance, transformation, sustainability, and general administrative operations.
Joan also served as Chair of the Board of Directors at Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the industry coalition dedicated to corporate social responsibility in the electronics industry, and on the Circular Drive Initiative (CDI) Board of Directors, where she played a pivotal role in enabling circularity across the breadth of IT hardware and supply chains.
“The urgency of climate change and resource depletion demands innovative solutions. I’m passionate about the circular economy’s potential to address these challenges while ensuring business success. Joining the SERI board allows me to contribute to this mission by advocating for strategies and initiatives that promote circularity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimize resource use.”
Joan is a highly recognized collaborative leader known for her integrity, resilience under pressure, clear and engaging communication style, and strategic, reasoned approach to problem-solving. Her leadership philosophy and critical thinking strategies have been publicized in Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, and CTech, and she remains an active advocate for bringing along the next generation of women in technology and leadership.
