LeAnn Jellinek Joins New Sustainable Industry Supplier To The Market
The woman-owned B Corp is a software platform that connects buyers with ethical and sustainable makers from around the world – calculating ESG metrics for each project.
To The Market (asi/91489), a woman-owned B Corp new to promo, has tapped industry veteran LeAnn Jellinek to be its vice president of sales in corporate gifting.
A software platform that enables responsible vendor compliance and management, digital procurement and automated impact reporting, To The Market provides its clients with metrics such as fair wages created, as well as kilowatt hours of energy, liters of water and amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided for each purchase. This allows brands to use their procurement budgets for environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.
In addition, To The Market says it provides clients with the ability to offset their carbon emissions, decarbonizing their production by creating fewer emissions and offsetting those that are created. The company has proprietary systems and technology to evaluate and monitor ethical and sustainable businesses along the supply chain via their platform.
The company has a vetted, diverse network of more than 200 syndicated suppliers in more than 60 countries. According to its 2022 impact report, 60% of To the Market’s network of makers are women-owned and/or operated, and 122 of its makers have special social programs attached to them.
On the environmental side, To the Market saved 11.8 million liters of water and more than 92,000 kilowatt hours of energy in 2022, according to its impact report. It also avoided more than 25,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.
Jane Mosbacher Morris, founder and CEO of To The Market, said she’s thrilled to welcome Jellinek to the team. “Her deep industry knowledge and strategic vision align with our goals for aggressive growth,” she said. “We are confident that LeAnn will play a pivotal role in spearheading our expansion efforts in the indirect procurement sector and look forward to her efforts to power the ethical and sustainable supply chain.”
Prior to joining To The Market, Jellinek worked as vice president of sales at US Blanks (asi/92423). She’s also held a variety of sales leadership positions at Threadfast Apparel (asi/91163), Alternative Apparel/Hanesbrands (asi/59528), Top 40 supplier The Magnet Group (asi/68507) and other suppliers.
Jellinek said she’s excited to join To The Market to further its mission of empowering women and producing sustainably. “I have always been an advocate for women to be recognized for their hard work and paid equally, as I’ve been on the flip side,” she added. “To The Market is empowering and supporting women and other adults who need a voice and an opportunity to earn fair wages while producing products that are better for our planet.”
