You've come to the right circle.
Everything is inventory

Meet our founder

Deborah Dull
Founder and Managing Partner

I’ve spent a ton of time developing the circular supply chains space, with several books and featured in a new supply chain documentary coming out soon.

The recognition isn’t what drives me!

It’s the opportunity to help create a world where geography and economics don’t determine whether people have access to what they need to thrive.

Our speakers

How about these speakers though?

Anh Dao
Management and Data Strategy Consultant

I work with my clients to discover their business and data problems, and implement solutions. I focus on bridging the gap between technology capabilities and implementable applications.

I have helped organizations successfully navigate through major transformational phases in a risky and unstructured operating environment. I have also built and invested in multiple businesses within the manufacturing, technology, construction, and hospitality industries. 
Kimberley Duarte
NPI and Material Innovations Leader

I’m drawn to complex material systems and the people working to make them real.

Over time I’ve found myself most excited by the challenge of helping products and technologies move from promising ideas into systems that actually function at scale.

I’m interested in circularity, manufacturing ecosystems, and how materials move across supply chains. These systems are complex and rarely perfect, but when they work well they can become elegant solutions to real environmental and operational constraints.

I'm wicked curious about how things will work in practice. How people collaborate, where obstacles appear, and what it takes for a system to succeed or fail. 
Kristin Flentke
Program Management and BizOps Leader

I'm a business operations and program management leader who helps organizations move important work forward when things are complex, cross-functional, and not yet fully defined. I specialize in turning strategic intent into clear priorities, shared ownership, and measurable progress.

My experience includes building operational frameworks from scratch, leading organizational carve-outs, and operationalizing strategic partnerships at scale. I've also developed product and customer success metrics strategies that informed roadmaps and improved retention. I work closely with product, technical, and external partners to strengthen the customer experience and bring clarity where execution and expectations break down.

Chief Product Officer and Circularity Advisor

Vivian Tai
Director of Innovation and Customer Success Advisor

I’m an innovation strategist obsessed with the convergence of identity, emerging technology, and sustainability. With roots in fashion, supply chain, and global standards, I now work at the intersection of product identity, data carriers, and the circular economy—reimagining how transparency and traceability can power regenerative systems.

I thrive in early-stage thinking and expansive collaboration—especially where behavioral insight, environmental stewardship, and systems design intersect. In my role at GS1 US, I lead sustainability innovation efforts while also helping brands, retailers, and regulators explore what’s next for circular commerce and ethical technology.
Our speakers

Keep going, you've almost come full circle!

Adam Peterson
Supply Chain and Operations Executive

I lead at the intersection of supply chain, digital transformation, and AI—focused on defining and scaling systems that hold up under real-world conditions. I’m naturally drawn to what could be: questioning assumptions, identifying where systems break down, and shaping new approaches. But ideas only create value when they work in practice, so I focus on getting the system right and making sure it performs at scale.

Allen Xu
Senior Manufacturing Operations Leader

Bridging the gap between "Figure it out" and "Get it done."

In highly regulated ISO 5 / Grade A and ISO 13485 environments, strategy often dies on the shop floor. I’ve spent the last decade ensuring it doesn’t.

My approach is simple: I recover lost capacity by stabilizing the human systems behind the technical ones. I don't just "manage" processes; I co-create sustainable systems that reduce the CoPQ (Cost of Poor Quality) and translate Lean theory into tangible ROI.
Brijesh Krishnan
Global Environmental Leader

Lead company strategy to address evolving regulatory compliance and customer requirements on carbon border adjustment, corporate sustainability reporting, supply chain sustainability & decarbonization, circular economy, and life cycle assessment

Dan Main
Director Asset Disposition Solutions

I help companies find buyers for items that quite often would be send for disposal, in huge volumes - from retail returns up to large industrial assets. I have worked all over the world and helped a range of clients to maximise the realisation on their surplus assets.

Frequently asked questions

How can I choose my courses?

We offer a number of different learning paths, which you are invited to read and choose the one that better meets your needs. However if you need any advice or clarifications, we are at your disposal at any time.

What if the student and teacher’s personalities don’t work well together or the student is dissatisfied?

We have 16 teachers so if a problem occurs – which is extremely rare – we can switch you over to one of the other teachers. If you think you may get more out of lessons from a teacher with a different teaching style, we have the flexibility to change you to another instructor.

What can you offer that I cannot get at other online schools?

With us you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the most notable professionals in the field. We are intricately involved with education across the U.S. Our students regularly participate in local, state-wide, and national workshops and festivals.
