Meet Laura Nolte

Hi, I am Laura Nolte and I joined Sircle six years ago. I am the VP Brand, Marketing and Communication and since I am the unofficial Eco Warrior in the company I am spearheading our sustainability efforts. Our industry has been through a lot the past few years, but now that we’re recovering from the pandemic, we are able to fully refocus our efforts on supporting the environment. We have made wonderful progress with partners like Earth Check, Green Partners and Except, but we have so much more we can do. I hope to find a partner to help us take our sustainability efforts to the next level!
