The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is proud to welcome three prominent leaders in business, law, technology and finance as Advisory Board Members of the School’s recently launched Sustainable Business Law Hub. The new Advisory Board Members include Darryl Carbonaro, General Counsel of Generate Capital, PBC, Edward Ip, Founder and CEO of POS.com, and Donna Lanzetta, Founder and CEO of Manna Fish Farms, Inc. The Sustainable Business Law Hub’s Advisory Board consists of Haub Law faculty, esteemed alumni, prominent members of the legal community, entrepreneurs, and ESG and sustainability leaders.

“Our advisory board members are a key component of our Sustainable Business Law Hub,” said Kerlin Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law, Associate Dean for Environmental Law Programs and Strategic Initiatives, and the Faculty Director of the Sustainable Business Law Hub, Jason J. Czarnezki. “We are extremely fortunate to be surrounded and supported by experts in business, law, technology and finance who share the same goal as us: sustainability. Edward, Darryl, and Donna will help guide the Hub to the next level and make tangible and positive strides towards more companies having sustainable business models.”

Edward M. Ip is a serial entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in the retail, logistics, and healthcare technology sectors.

As a lifelong New Yorker, he lives with his wife and four kids while serving as a trustee at the Queens Botanical Garden and as an advisor and mentor to several organizations, including Pockyt and American Cancer Society New York Presbyterian Hospital Queens. Edward hopes to help transition different sectors toward a more sustainable future.

Darryl has more than 20 years of experience investing in all types of energy and infrastructure assets, including hydroelectric facilities along the Danube, wind farms in North Dakota and anaerobic digesters in Indiana. A former chemical engineer focused on downstream waste treatment technologies, Darryl began his legal career as a project finance lawyer at White & Case in New York, then moved to Dechert LLP in San Francisco to focus on securitization. He served as an assistant general counsel at Bank of America, where he helped launch the bank’s renewable energy finance and energy efficiency finance groups. Prior to joining Generate, Darryl was the deputy general counsel for a consumer finance company focused on residential energy solutions. Darryl earned a JD from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, and BS in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University.

“Edward, Darryl, and Donna are all leaders and innovators in each of their respective fields,” remarked Horace Anderson, Dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. “Each of them has a unique perspective on the field of sustainability. We are grateful for the dedication of both their time and knowledge to our Sustainable Business Law Hub.”

Launched in fall 2021, Haub Law’s Sustainable Business Law Hub serves as an incubator space, student-training program, research endeavor, and think tank devoted to addressing global sustainability challenges through policy and research projects, relationships with the business community, and capacity building in private environmental governance. The Hub incorporates the three pillars of sustainability—economic, social and environmental welfare—into global business practices by engaging in research and policy development, improving public law and governance, and working with existing industry, the small business community, startups, and the community at-large to develop and employ innovative private environmental models and sustainability practices, such as those that promote a circular economy. Working hand-in-hand with faculty experts, students participating in the Hub receive practical training and experience in using the law to foster sustainable business practices.
