His work is based on significant on-the-ground, in-company business experience, including executive positions and P&L responsibility at global companies, start-ups, and dot-coms. With the Boston Consulting Group, he helped Fortune 500 companies grow and prosper.
Winston also writes extensively on green business strategy, including a bi-weekly column for Harvard Business Online.
