Brian Kneibel

Brian Kneibel loves solving problems. To advance UL Solutions’ commercial organization, he cultivates deep relationships with customers, “meeting them where they are” and guiding them through our offerings to address their sustainability needs for today and the future. He helps them develop and implement sustainability strategies that differentiate them from their industry peers and toward an environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting framework that can elevate a business above the “table stakes” of industry regulations and into larger goals of attracting investment dollars and supporting an engaged and happy work force.
