Nadav Malin
CEO, Honorary AIA, LEED Fellow
Nadav Malin is a passionate facilitator, leading workshops and retreats to help organizations of all types find alignment, inspiration, and leadership in pursuit of their goals. He convenes peer networks of architecture firm Sustainable Design Leaders, Sustainable Construction Leaders, and others. He facilitates gatherings and consults to USGBC, AIA, large corporations, government agencies, and architecture firms. And he helps project teams with charrette facilitation and design process support to achieve optimal outcomes.
Nadav is also the building industry’s acknowledged go-to resource when you need thoughtful perspective on the materials and design solutions that define sustainable building practice. When the LEED rating system was just starting out, Nadav was tapped to lead its new Materials and Resources Technical Advisory Group, which he chaired throughout LEED’s formative years. Nadav also led the team that created the U.S. Department of Energy’s High Performance Buildings Database.
When he is not facilitating a rich conversation among design professionals, he can often be found chasing a hockey puck or a soccer ball, depending on the season.

Ashley Muse
Peer Networks Facilitator and Strategist
Ashley Muse is a curious and insightful facilitator and impact strategist helping purpose-driven organizations and coalitions set ambitions, build trust, and amplify impact. She combines technical breadth with a keen understanding of how to enable effective collaboration and innovation within large complex organizations and diverse networks of practitioners.
With a background in architecture, Ashley has two decades of experience on green buildings and urban redevelopment projects across the country in the role of consultant as well as owner/developer during five years at Google. Her project work spans scales of design (including interiors, core and shell architecture, infrastructure, and mixed-use urban planning), in a range of typologies (from mixed use to commercial to housing), pursuing impact through different system lenses (carbon, water, ecology, IEQ, public health, climate adaptation).
Over the last few years Ashley has established her own consultancy where she is applying her strategy and facilitation skills beyond the building industry to advance place and nature based climate initiatives in other fields including land conservation, fashion and apparel, agriculture and food systems, and travel and tourism.
