Today I am joined by Diz Petit, Founder and CEO of LiquiDonate, a sustainable social impact solution for businesses and nonprofits. She received her BA in Organizational Communication and her MBA in Sustainable Social Impact.
LiquiDonate combines Diz’s years of experience working with tech companies to implement social impact programs that leverage their existing business model and evolving technologies with her love for the work and people of nonprofits. With an ambitious mission Diz set out to reduce landfill waste and enable circularity by connecting retailers’ excess, unsold and returned inventory to nonprofits via seamless technology.
Prior to LiquiDonate, Diz founded Civic Labs, the social impact team at Postmates. Civic Labs’ mission was to positively impact our neighborhoods through community engagement and innovative technology solutions to combat complex, pervasive issues. Postmates was acquired by Uber Technologies.
Diz’s passion and action won her the Time Magazine Invention of the year award for the food security product, Bento, that allows hungry people without access to a smartphone obtain free food via SMS. She is a feminist, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and an animal rights activist through the lens of environmental justice and human rights, and works to be a better practicing ally for marginalized communities.
