Why Watch
Schenk operates a lean department focused on driving business results. WWT has seen sustained, dynamic growth since its inception, doubling every five years. One of WWT’s core values is “embracing change” – and the speed of WWT’s growth requires it.
WWT deepened its commitment to sustainability this year by signing the U.N.’s Race to Zero in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.
“WWT is committed to investing in a future we want – and technology sits at the center,” Schenk said. “We will make a new world happen through sustainable and responsible business practices.”
