In addition to being an internationally-respected keynote speaker and Producer of an upcoming documentary called “THREAD”, Zaroff currently serves as CMSO of the Portico Brand Group, which owns Under the Canopy, Portico, and FASE, another company founded by Zaroff. A Director/Advisor on numerous Boards, including the Organic Trade Association, Fair Trade USA, Textile Exchange, AllergyKids Foundation and Teens Turning Green, Zaroff has been instrumental in driving environmental compliance and social justice worldwide. Prior to Under the Canopy, Marci received a business degree from UC Berkeley’s Haas Business School, then Co-Founded “The Institute for Integrative Nutrition”, which is currently the world’s largest nutrition school.
