Avery Schlicher
Head of Operations, Net Zero Cloud, Salesforce
Avery Schlicher is the Sr. Director & Head of Operations for Net Zero Cloud at Salesforce.
Since creating her own role to bring Net Zero Cloud to market, Avery has been at the forefront of operationalizing efforts to help businesses drive cost efficiency and sustainability impact through technology. Avery is passionate about animals, nature, and human connections -- in particular, the diverse backgrounds of people working and collaborating in this space. (Her English and Studio Art degrees from Hamilton College have proven quite transferrable...who'd have thought!) With a resume that spans book publishing, entertainment, and corporate PR, Avery’s path to tech was unconventional, but over the past 15 years, she has become a trusted advisor across the ecosystem. She has represented Salesforce's sustainability leadership and technical innovation at global forums such as COP26, GreenBiz, UN Climate Week, and Dreamforce. She previously led Earthforce, Salesforce’s environmental ERG.
Avery is a longtime New Yorker, where she lives with her husband and two rescue dogs.
