After Tufts, he spent more than five years developing international economic policy in the Clinton Administration, where he served in the White House and the U.S. Department of Commerce. In 2002, Greenblatt co-founded Ethos Water with his business partner, Peter Thum, to help children around the world gain access to clean water. Launched in the U.S., half the profits of Ethos bottled water directly support humanitarian water programs in developing countries. Ethos was sold to Starbucks Co!ee Company in 2005. Greenblatt managed the bottled water business as vice president of global consumer products for the company and, as a board member of the Starbucks Foundation, helped develop the principles to guide water-related investments around the world. To- day, Ethos is sold in more than 6,000 Starbucks locations, and it has achieved record performance for the company in bottled water sales.

    LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE WHITE SUPREMACIST TERROR: MODERNIZING OUR APPROACH TO TODAY’S THREAT 1 | Page LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE About the Program on Extremism The Program on Extremism at George Washington University provides analysis on issues related to violent and non-violent extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work that strengthens extremism research as a distinct field of study. The Program aims to develop pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. About the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League ADL’s Center on Extremism (COE) is the agency’s research and investigative arm, and a clearinghouse of valuable, up-to-the minute information about extremism of all types— from white supremacists to Islamic extremists. For decades, COE analysts have tracked extremist activity in the U.S. and abroad, assisted law enforcement with countless investigations, and helped disrupt and prevent multiple terror attacks. Their law enforcement trainings provide officers with the information they need to protect our country—and themselves—against extremist violence.
