Navine Karim, an attorney and international development executive with over 25 years of experience advising C-suite executives and boards, joins the advisory board, providing invaluable insight and strategic direction around sustainable impact compliance and management. His extensive background includes senior executive roles at notable organizations, such as Guayaki Yerba Mate, Red Bull, and BET Networks/Paramount, along with substantial international development work in Sub-Saharan Africa.

He expresses his alignment with Impakt IQ’s mission, stating, "Impakt IQ's vision resonates deeply with my own—a future where businesses thrive because they are sustainable, not in spite of it. I'm excited to contribute my expertise to ensure we can deliver on our promise to help companies succeed by integrating sustainability with business and financial performance."


Joining Navine is Rich Stuppy, a customer-facing technology executive, who brings to the table a proven track record of building profitable and scalable SaaS capabilities. His impressive sixteen-year tenure at Kount, which culminated in two successful exits, highlights his deep expertise in operational leadership, customer experience, sales, marketing, and mergers & acquisitions. Rich’s extensive experience will be instrumental in guiding Impakt IQ's market expansion and product development.


"Impakt IQ’s unique approach equips companies with a cutting-edge platform and deep insights to not only adapt but excel in Economics 3.0; I’m eager to contribute to that effort and help shape a future where sustainability and business success go hand in hand," says Rich.


Christopher Ott, an environmental engineering executive with extensive leadership in building innovative environmental and sustainable projects, rounds out the advisory board. His current position as CEO at Hydros Agritech, along with his experience transforming venture-backed and growth-phase companies, underscores his capability in managing complex organizations and driving sustainable operations.


"I look forward to helping Impakt IQ propel sustainability to the forefront of business strategy, unlocking the potential for innovative and responsible growth,” says Chris. “Impakt IQ’s data-driven, business intelligence platform is exactly what the market needs, and I'm proud to support their mission."
