Case study example

Challenge
USPA is an industry-leading clothing brand that is officially part of the United States Polo Association. Earlier this year, USPA’s sustainability director, Jessica Lenhart, was going on maternity leave. And inevitably, this left a significant gap in their sustainability team.

USPA needed a senior-level sustainability expert to step in quickly and seamlessly, with minimal disruption. So they reached out to Dazzle for support in finding an experienced interim sustainability manager.

Solution
In just two weeks, from request to final match, Dazzle connected USPA with Patricia, an ex-PwC senior sustainability consultant with over 17 years of experience. As Patricia also had relevant experience working with other clothing/apparel brands, she really was an ideal match here. 

In collaboration with USPA’s VP, the onboarding process went very smoothly. With a well-organized handover from Jessica, Patricia was able to quickly integrate and begin work. 

Outcome
During her time with USPA, Patricia provided strategic sustainability oversight, and ensured that projects stayed on track during the maternity leave period. 

USPA was delighted with the whole process, and according to Jessica: “Dazzle made finding an expert sustainability freelancer to provide maternity leave coverage seamless. From start to finish, they made sure everything was taken care of, and our freelancer was everything we had hoped for. Everyone throughout the process was professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Dazzle for anyone looking for a sustainability freelancer.”
