Testimonials
Adriana is a thought-provoking collaborator who leaves no stone unturned when developing program strategy to be the most impactful. It was a pleasure supporting retail clients together to develop the seafood arms of their responsible sourcing programs. She excels at breaking down complex concepts for diverse audiences and partnering with organizations for compliance, making commitments and most importantly communicating to stakeholders. Can't recommend highly enough partnering with her.
Mel Bandler Sustainable Sourcing Manager, Bath & Body Works
I have been working with Adriana since 2011. She has been both a colleague and a mentor as we took up the challenge to guide Sea Delight on the path to sustainable seafood. Adriana not only brings a wealth of experience, communication skills and social media savvy to the table, she brings the respect of the conservation/social responsibility NGO community. These attributes provide you the opportunity to have an industry leader on your team.
Stephen Fisher Director Sustainability, Sea Delight, LLC
I have really enjoyed working with Adriana over the years. She is my go-to person for advice and expertise on how to engage seafood businesses in sustainability efforts like Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs). Adriana is an innovator, trailblazer, and an excellent leader. She isn't afraid to put herself out there and set a good example for how companies can get their hands dirty and do whatever they can to promote sustainability and support fisher's livelihoods. She was very influential in helping to get several seafood companies on board as official FIP participants in WWF's mahi mahi FIPs in Ecuador and Peru. Her energy and go-getter attitude are infectious, and I greatly value her enthusiasm, inclusiveness, and expertise in the seafood business world. Adriana's the best; she is truly a pleasure to work with.
Wendy Goyert Lead Specialist, Latin America Fisheries in Transition at World Wildlife Fund
Since the very beginning of my time working with Adriana nearly 7 years ago, her passion and commitment to sustainable seafood has been consistent and unwavering. She has an incredible drive to be at the cutting edge of the seafood movement—and to bring everyone along with her, especially those most vulnerable to being left out of the conversation. Adriana brings incredible value to any project with her action-oriented and cut-to-the-chase approach.

John Saarheim Business Partner, WildFish Marketing
We needed to comply with WWF, we pressured Adriana from all sides, she remained composed and got the job done quicker than we expected. Isn't that something!
