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 ESG and GHG accounting and reporting, and 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 podcast consumer, fitness monitor aficionado, and endurance athlete. Beyond that, she considers herself a work-in-progress, has a growth mindset, and takes self-development seriously.
