Business and environment expert Peter Boyd helps companies accelerate the adoption of business solutions that lower carbon emissions and increase long-term profits. Driven by his personal motto that "There is no Planet B," Boyd has been at the forefront of the green business revolution for nearly a decade. With over 15 years of private-sector experience in strategy, marketing, operations, and general management, he understands the common roadblocks companies face when trying to "go green" and knows the smartest ways to steer around those obstacles. As Founder & CEO of Time4Good Group, his latest venture allows sought-out leaders to optimize their time so that they have more energy to dedicate themselves to the environmental and social causes they care about.
Boyd was the launch director of Richard Branson's global initiative, Carbon War Room. During his time there, he shifted to the role of COO, orchestrating extensive advances in the use of renewable jet fuels, adoption of green technologies in the trucking, shipping, and construction sectors, and the transition off fossil fuels in island nations such as Aruba and St. Lucia. Under his watch, Carbon War Room received BusinessGreen's NGO of the Year Award.

Boyd's insights on how organizations can transition to a "Net-Zero" environmental impact economy have been highly in demand. He has served as a senior advisor for the B Team, a global non-profit initiative headed by some of the world's most high profile business leaders including Sir Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and Paul Polman, among others. Additionally, as the Chair of the Energy Efficiency Deployment Office, Boyd advised UK government teams on EE policy and represented the EEDO at numerous national and global conferences and meetings.

Currently, Boyd serves as the founder and CEO of Time4Good, a social and scheduling platform that brings sought-out leaders, meeting seekers, and ecological and social causes together in an innovative way, maximizing each party's resources, energy, and impact. Boyd is also Executive Fellow at Yale University's Center for Business and the Environment, where he guest lectures and collaborates with the next generation of business leaders towards achieving a "NetZero" carbon-emission economy.

"We were delighted with Peter's keynote at the Canadian Solar Industries Association conference. Peter was exactly the speaker we needed at the event, bringing a refreshing global perspective on climate change, deep insight, energy, knowledge and delightful sense of humour to the stage. The feedback received was very positive and his insights have helped catalyze some substantial progress on renewable energy matters and the climate change dialogue across Canada as a result. Having previously seen Peter work before as a moderator among Caribbean heads of state for the Carbon War Room, I was impressed with his ability to hold a room of 500+ people enraptured, imparting knowledge, hope and crisp insights to a room of seasoned business professionals. I would definitely use Peter as a speaker at future events."

"We were delighted with Peter's keynote at our recent Solar conference. Peter brings energy, passion and knowledge about the wider subject of climate change and the world's potential solutions to addressing it. He manages to mix a big-picture background and on-the-ground experience of the world's climate negotiations with a clear business case-spelling out the compelling economic opportunity in front of us all. He is also refreshingly focused at ensuring his talk makes a difference for the lives of the delegates after the conference, ending his talk with an actionable to do list for everyone in the room. Our attendees were very engaged and gave Peter high marks on our post- conference survey. I would definitely use Peter as a speaker at one of our other events."
