<aside> ✌🏽 Hi there! I’m Alyah S. Kanso

</aside>

I’m an intersectional environmentalist with over 7 years of experience working across industries to help organizations incorporate sustainability into the very fabric of the business. I love working with mission-focused organizations to turn good intentions into tangible progress through tailored strategies that span operations, engagement, and storytelling.

The name Carry On reflects both the urgency and endurance of climate work, grounded in the idea that sustainability isn’t a trend, but a long-term commitment. I co-create solutions that are practical, people-centered, and grounded in each organization’s unique needs, whether that means reducing waste, meeting regulatory goals, or building shared value for customers, employees, and communities. My work is informed by collaboration and experience with scientists, educators, and frontline laborers to ensure every project is approached with both technical expertise and lived perspective.

Before launching Carry On, I led climate programs in the sports and entertainment, film & production, skincare & beauty, and food industry and oversaw greenhouse gas inventories, zero-waste operations, secured million-dollar sustainability partnerships and more. I am a certified TRUE Advisor and a recognized advocate for climate justice, bringing a systems-level lens to every engagement. Through Carry On Consulting, I want to continue to help businesses lead with their values and keep moving forward with climate action that lasts.

Experience

Founder | Carry On Consulting **January 2025 - Present

I lead Carry On Consulting in supporting small and medium-sized businesses to implement climate solutions that are both strategic and community-minded. I collaborate across sectors to build custom programs that reduce waste, recover resources, and strengthen local impact. Each engagement is rooted in equity, practicality, and the belief that doing good is the default.

Sustainability Manager | Golden State Warriors (Golden State Group) **January 2022 - January 2025

I launched and led the Warriors’ first full-time sustainability program, shaping a climate strategy that set the standard for the league. I worked across departments and with league leadership to embed sustainability into operations, partnerships, and storytelling. From waste diversion to carbon reporting, I aligned bold climate goals with the pace and scale of professional sports.

Head of Sustainability & Special Projects | Good Planet Innovation **January 2021 - January 2022

I developed custom sustainability frameworks for global clients, translating big-picture goals into actionable strategies. I led a team of 28 contractors to deliver climate solutions across hospitality, production, and event sectors. Each project was grounded in measurable impact, operational efficiency, and tailored client engagement.
