Our Executive Board Members.

Aleksandra Plewa, CEO

With a background in Biology and Environmental work and a whole lot of love for our planet, it’s been very fulfilling to grow EcoShip. This work has allowed me to not only do a bit of good for our environment, but also our local businesses that need our support now and always.

Peter Proctor, CFO

With a background in Environmental Science and Business, Peter brings in a lot of expertise into his CFO position. You can find him building shelves for EcoShip or tending to plants at his job at Garfield Park Conseratory.

Lynn Dalsing

“I like to think my background has left me peculiarly suited to appreciate EcoShip’s mission of packaging reuse. My parents run an antiques business, and in the early 1990s my mom started selling in this newfangled way on the internet, in vintage-doll chatrooms on AOL. By the late '90s, my high school job was selling on eBay and in local antique malls—mostly vintage clothes, jewelry, and house goods—and I was deeply irritated by how much shipping and packaging cut into margins. So EcoShip’s mission to reuse packaging materials and create more value from secondhand resources resonates with me. “

Kayla Silverman

“My first job as a babysitter at 13 years old taught me that any job can be fulfilling with the right mindset. My background in people management and sales gave me the tools to help tell Chicago all about EcoShip, which has been my most rewarding role thus far. I’m committed to paying it forward by helping make the city a greener place for everyone.”
