Dario Primo is a sustainability advocate and continuous improvement professional rooted in Traverse City, Michigan — where he grew up picking cherries, playing sports, and developing a deep connection to the Northern Michigan landscape.
He studied Resource Ecology Management at the University of Michigan before working with the National Park Service at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the National Wildlife Federation. He later earned an MBA from Michigan State University, building expertise in supply chain and manufacturing operations.
After years in Arizona and Petoskey, Dario returned to Traverse City in 2015 with his family — drawn back by the community, the trails, and the mission to help Northern Michigan thrive responsibly.
Today, he brings together his operational expertise and environmental values to help organisations reduce impact, mitigate climate risk, and integrate sustainability into their operations.
Eliminating waste and optimising operations across supply chain and manufacturing processes.
Helping organisations develop sustainability programmes, reduce environmental impact, and manage climate-change risk.
Deep experience in supply chain management, operational efficiency, and strategic process design.
Advising on Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy — from committee work to client implementation.
Dario is deeply involved in the Traverse City community, serving on boards and committees that shape the region's future.
Board Member — helping guide responsible conservation and land stewardship across Northern Michigan.
Developing the district's first climate action plan — bringing sustainability into education.
Former staff — worked at one of Michigan's most treasured national lakeshores.

You'll find Dario outside in every season. Northern Michigan's trails, lakes, and forests are his playground.
