Wren Montgomery, MBA,PhD

Associate Professor of Sustainability, Ivey Business School, Western University

Meet Wren: part researcher, part sleuth, part public pedagogue – and respected world-wide subject matter expert. Her decade-long dive into corporate greenwashing shaped Canada’s 2024 Competition Act revisions, rewiring rules on transparency. From publishing in top journals to engaging with Apple, KPMG, and over 1,000 executives, she turns complex research into widely-shared actionable insights. Her Greenwash Action Lab educates, mentors, and mobilizes Canadians to spot “futurewashing” and deceptive environmental claims. With media appearances from The Guardian to CBC Marketplace, Montgomery’s work sparks conversations, inspires policy, and arms the next generation of scholars and managers. She’s proof that rigorous research can be public-facing, accessible and high-impact.
