GRESB | ESG | EXISTING BUILDING DECARBONIZATION
Holly is a Sustainability Strategy Project Manager at Stok, where she helps real estate clients understand, organize, and improve their sustainability performance. Her work sits at the intersection of ESG reporting, decarbonization planning, utility data, GRESB submissions, and client communication. She helps clients make sense of complex requirements, identify what data or evidence they need, and translate sustainability goals into clear next steps. Holly’s approach is practical, detail-oriented, and deeply focused on clarity. She is especially skilled at taking messy or incomplete information—whether utility data, asset-level reporting inputs, evidence packages, or client narratives—and turning it into something accurate, defensible, and easier for teams to use. She brings a thoughtful balance of technical analysis, writing, QA/QC, and client strategy to help teams move from confusion to action.

ON REIMAGINING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT:
“I’m reimagining the built environment by helping clients understand what is actually happening across their buildings and portfolios. A lot of my work is about making sustainability more concrete: cleaning up data, identifying gaps, checking assumptions, organizing evidence, and helping clients understand what their reporting results really mean. To me, better buildings start with better decisions. That requires accurate data, clear communication, and a willingness to look closely at where performance can improve. I help clients connect the details—utility bills, emissions, water, waste, building certifications, due diligence documents, and operational practices—to the bigger picture of lower-carbon, more resilient, and more responsible real estate.”
ON A FUTURE THEY WANT TO LIVE IN:
“I want to live in a future where the buildings around us are healthier, more efficient, and less wasteful—and where that progress is real, not just something written in a report. I want sustainability to be built into everyday decisions, from how buildings are designed and operated to how performance is measured and communicated. I also want a future where people can trust the claims organizations make about sustainability because they are backed by good data, thoughtful work, and honest reporting. To me, the built environment has a huge role to play in creating a lower-carbon future, but that only happens if we are willing to do the detailed, practical work required to get there.”
