Liebherr has bolstered its sustainability portfolio with the addition of Alexandra Hobgood to oversee its initiatives in the United States.
As general manager of corporate responsibility and sustainability, Hobgood will be responsible for educating stakeholders, implementing new processes, and providing additional structure to current programs.
“There are a lot of great processes already being implemented at Liebherr, so the structure for building a strong program is already in motion,” Hobgood said.
“I am excited to add in my own intent, heart, and passion to help excel in the program.”
Hobgood has a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in environmental science from Christopher Newport University.
With a desire to positively affect her local community, Hobgood worked at the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, where she completed lab work and water testing.
She later transitioned to the Virginia Aquarium, where Hobgood developed a taste for program management, implementing safety and environmental programs for the aquarium.
Hobgood will build on Liebherr’s existing sustainability programs including redirecting waste streams, diverting organics to composting, and completing energy studies.
Hobgood said she planned to improve Liebherr’s current sustainability processes by implementing new programs and verifying that they are being used and maintained throughout Liebherr’s US locations.
