TEAM

Molly McCabe

Founder and CEO of HaydenTanner

A scout - one who identifies future trends and recognizes patterns and shifts that dynamically alter markets, impose risk or create opportunity.

A mapmaker - mapping that landscape. Using a systems approach to look for linkages and impacts.

A bridge builder - bridging the gap between the language and belief one can't "do well and do good". Through thoughtful questions, intuitive listening and active partnership we craft bold and creative solutions that are both profitable and enhance livability.

Sarah Benedict

Director of Research.

Always curious - Sarah is a seeker and rabble rouser.

An environmental planner and educator with a focus on tech, geography, and GIS mapping, Sarah brings a down to earth (no pun intended) style to all of her research projects. She has deep background in environmental assessments, brownfields and watershed impacts. A skilled project manager, she keeps us on track and moving forward. Sarah has a BS in Geography/Environmental Science and two masters - in Geography and Learning Technologies.

Todd Tanner

Communications Director

When he's inside four walls, Todd manages all the communications for HT. When he's not, you can usually find him on the water or in the woods.

"Passion. That’s what it’s about. That’s what separates us from everyone else. We love being out on the water. It’s a genetic imperative burned into our soul, it’s a direct, no-detours conduit to nature, it’s a subliminal, primitive urge that leads, slowly, surely, perhaps unfathomably, towards that rarest of moments when, no matter our failings or our personal limitations, we brush up against grace."

His writing has appeared via a number of respected media platforms, including Forbes, Sporting Classics, Field & Stream and Hatch Magazine.

He is also a columnist and senior editor for Sporting Classics magazine and runs Conservation Hawks, a nonprofit dedicated to passing on a healthy natural world to our kids and grandkids.
