Ikigai as a Disruptor with Devon Leahy 

The Japanese phrase, ikigai, refers to one’s reason to live. Devon Leahy, the global head of sustainability at Ralph Lauren, found her ikigai at a young age on the ski slopes of Vermont: the outdoors and environmental issues.
Devon took that passion, merged it with a business degree from Michigan Ross, and began crafting what these corporate sustainability roles could look like for major companies like Walmart and eventually Ralph Lauren.
Breaking Schemas hosts Marcus Collins and John Branch sit down with Devon to discuss what a global head of sustainability does, why sustainability needs to be embedded in the fabric of the corporation and not just a PR campaign, and what the future holds for sustainability in the fashion industry.
Breaking Schemas is a production of the Yaffe Digital Media Initiative at Michigan Ross and is produced by University FM.
