Catdel EHS
Julie Wojnowski is a dedicated professional with over a decade of diverse
experience in healthcare, mergers and acquisitions, environmental and
human sustainability, and business operations. Currently, she leads the ESG
and Sustainability Practice at Citadel EHS, where she supports and enables
clients to achieve goals and milestones that demonstrate their building,
organizational, environmental, and human performance efforts through
building certifications programs like Green Globes, LEED, WELL, and GRESB, to name a few.
For Julie, it’s about people – making connections, building relationships,
fostering growth, instilling trust, and leveraging all of that, in addition to
global regulations, rating systems, and industry standards to leave this world
better than it was found.
Before joining Citadel EHS, Julie was a key leader at the International WELL
Building Institute (IWBI), where she held pivotal roles such as Vice President
of Network Care and Senior Director of Commercial Services. Throughout
her tenure at IWBI, she developed strategic products and programs that
accelerated the global adoption of the WELL Building Standard (WELL),
including WELL Certification, the WELL AP credential, the WELL
Performance Testing Program, the WELL Health-Safety, Performance and
Equity Ratings, and the WELL + LEED Streamlined Certification Pathway.
Julie is a seasoned presenter, having spoken at industry conferences and
hosted countless webinars on a wide range of topics related to people and
planetary health. She has provided technical support to hundreds of
projects with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Indoor Environmental Quality
(IEQ) testing, documentation and remediation. She has extensive
knowledge of ISO/IEC 17065:2012 for Conformity assessment —
Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services and
ISO/IEC 17024:2012 for Conformity assessment — General requirements for
bodies operating certification of persons, and worked directly with USGBC
and GBCI around these efforts for the better part of the last decade.
Julie is active with her local USGBC chapter in the Carolinas and has familial
ties to the sustainability industry that run deep. Beyond her professional
attributes and experience, she is a devoted caregiver, wife, daughter,
niece, friend, pet mom, colleague, volunteer, vivacious reader and

Beyond that, she considers herself a work-in-progress, has a growth
