Erin Craig is vice president of the Customer Solutions and Innovation group at 3Degrees, where she leads the company’s efforts to accelerate deployment of new climate mitigation approaches across the company’s corporate, institutional, and utility clients. Prior to taking on this role, Erin headed up 3Degrees’ consulting business, capping more than a decade of advising the world’s largest corporations on climate and energy strategies. 

In the early 1990s, Erin worked for a small computer company called Apple Computer, heading up the company’s efforts to rid products and suppliers of environmentally-hazardous substances. Call it her premier technical education, passion for climate science, knack for numbers, or all of the above — Erin was only getting started. Over the next two decades, Erin worked as a sustainability and services leader not only at Apple, but also at salesforce.com and Sun Microsystems.

Throughout her career, Erin has cultivated her understanding of the complexities of addressing climate change across divergent sets of needs and stakeholders. Early in her career, she authored studies for the California Energy Commission on climate change in the transportation sector and assisted with pilots of alternative-fueled transit buses in the Bay Area. She built a means to inventory and then eliminate harmful materials used in the worldwide manufacture of computer hardware products for two different companies. She initiated public reporting of key environmental metrics in the mid-1990s at Sun Microsystems, well before such reporting became the norm. 

In 2007, she found her niche at Origin Climate (originally TerraPass) where she led the organization’s expansion into carbon offset project origination and renewable energy services. With the 2017 merger of Origin Climate and 3Degrees, Erin spearheaded 3Degrees’ Energy and Climate Practice, leading the team’s renewable energy and climate work with numerous global corporations, including two landmark renewable energy aggregations serving Apple, Akamai, eBay, Etsy, Samsung, Sprint, and Swiss Re.

When the sun is shining, Erin listens to audiobooks while tending vegetables in her Silicon Valley backyard garden. After dark, she likes to relax with Jean-Luc Picard, Han Solo, her husband, and rescue dogs (not necessarily in that order).

Dan Kalafatas serves as the chairman of 3Degrees, focusing on the chairing 3Degrees’ board of directors and the company’s long-term corporate strategy, strategic initiatives, and risk management.

In 2007, Dan co-led the formation of 3Degrees with Steve McDougal, a spin-off of the 3 Phases Energy Services division Dan co-founded and ran from 2002 through 2007. Under Dan’s leadership as CEO from 2007 until January 2015, 3Degrees successfully grew into an award-winning U.S. renewable energy supplier and converted to a B Corp.

When Dan isn’t building double bottom-line businesses, he lives with his wife and three children in Marin County. Dan also serves on the advisory board of the Dartmouth College Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society, Dartmouth College’s Presidential Commission for Financial Aid, and the governing council of the Northern Sierra Partnership, which is dedicated to conserving the natural landscapes of the Northern Sierra Nevada.

Steve McDougal is co-founder and chief executive officer at 3Degrees, and oversees all day-to-day operations while directing the development of corporate strategy. 

After a highly-successful run in strategic marketing at CNET Networks (now CBS Interactive), Steve decided to turn his talents to pursuing what he saw as an urgent issue: addressing climate change. In 2003, he joined 3 Phases Energy Services as the director of marketing and business development.

In partnership with Dan Kalafatas, Steve formed 3Degrees (previously part of 3 Phases) in 2007. For the next four years, he successfully led 3Degrees’ Retail REC and Carbon Offset group as the vice president of marketing and business development, becoming the company president in 2012 and CEO in 2015.

Outside of work, Steve enjoys biking, skiing, and learning to play piano. He also sits on the board of a mid-sized educational and environmental foundation. 

Mark Mondik is the vice president for carbon markets at 3Degrees, where he has helped build the organization into a leading supplier of voluntary carbon offsets in North America. He also leads 3Degrees’ work in using market incentives to fund the decarbonization of transportation fleets.

With a strong curiosity about the world and a degree in finance, Mark began his career working in international development finance specializing in renewable energy projects. This in turn led to his work on carbon when he used carbon credits to finance a series of small hydropower projects in India in 2004.

Mark joined TerraPass as the next step in his career, where he led a team that registered and sold more than five million carbon credits. After leading the restructuring of TerraPass into Origin Climate, Mark continued to focus on finding the right projects for customers, getting new projects built, and innovating on new types of environmental commodities — work that he has continued at 3Degrees, after the companies merged in 2017.

He previously held roles at E-Source and the Colorado Governor’s Office of Energy Conservation.

When not working on developing new approaches to expanding renewable energy, Adam enjoys playing ping pong, biking, reading, and spending time with his wife and two daughters. He also serves as an advisor to Northern Arizona University’s Master’s in Climate Science and Solutions program, and is chair of the board for Renewable Northwest.

Prior to his work in global development, he was at Bernstein Global Wealth Management where he honed his financial expertise working in portfolio management.

When Scott isn’t living in foreign countries or overseeing environmental markets strategy, he enjoys hiking, biking, skiing, surfing (basically, any outdoor activity), and spending as much time as possible with his wife and daughters.

Rachel Fagan is 3Degrees’ vice president of marketing where she is responsible for all aspects of the company’s global Commercial, Utility Partnerships, Corporate, and Employer Brand marketing efforts.

Since joining the company, Rachel has led the development and execution of annual go-to-market strategies that deliver on 3Degrees’ North American and international business objectives, including establishing 3Degrees’ positioning as a global provider of renewable energy and decarbonization solutions.

After spending the first half of her marketing career in the world of consumer goods, supporting leading brands such as Kraft Foods, Walmart, Microsoft, and Pillsbury, Rachel went in search of a more meaningful way to drive positive change in the world. This journey brought her to Green Mountain Energy, where she spent seven years leading marketing for both the residential and commercial segments of the business and helping support the company’s national expansion. After her time at Green Mountain, Rachel continued to build on her career in renewable energy and led North American residential marketing for SunPower, a major global solar panel manufacturer.

Rachel derives tremendous energy from her community involvement. She helped launch the downtown Austin Farmers’ Market and sits on the Advisory Board (formerly a Board member) for EcoRise, a non-profit that helps inspire K-12 youth to design a sustainable future for all.

Scott Martin serves as 3Degrees’ vice president of the global commercial business where he leads a talented team of business development and consulting experts, supports the company’s launch into new international markets, and leads the overall commercial business. 

In 1992, Scott was stationed in Oahu having just returned from the burning oil fields of Kuwait and Iraq with the Marine Corps. While surfing one afternoon, he had a moment of reflection that would end up directing his life’s work: he needed to dedicate his career to protecting our natural resources and reducing society’s dependence on fossil fuels.

For over two decades, Scott has worked exclusively for organizations that are focused on fighting climate change. Prior to joining 3Degrees, he spent 15 years with Green Mountain Energy Company, where he was a founding member of the company’s $100M Commercial and Industrial business, and helped launch the Texas and New York markets.
