“'Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.'
This famous quote by Eleanor Roosevelt is the perfect way to introduce Yeves. He is a 'great mind' who not only discusses ideas, he makes them happen.
EcoHub, Yeves' brain-child, is a truly remarkable place. It is built on the premise that great minds, together, contribute to a healthier and more prosperous community. San Diego is lucky to have Yeves as a 'green' steward, bringing us together and lighting the way.
I've truly enjoyed Yeves' enthusiasm for life and creation.” January 2, 2012

“From the first time I heard Yeves speak at the Bright Green Future Conference at USD, I was impressed by his passion and desire to educate and connect people in San Diego around sustainability. Yeves understands that networking starts with helping others solve their problems and reach their goals. He also is eager to learn whatever he can from each person he meets and not afraid to take risks. Through his vision, drive, and personal values he has accomplished a great deal in a short period of time and has established himself as one of San Diego’s Green/Cleantech business leaders.” June 27, 2011

“As the owner and Chief Sustainability Officer of a sustainable printing and design company, I look for partners that want to build the Green Economy and who use my business a building block. Yeves Perez is that guy! From the first time I saw him on TV and called him until now, I cannot believe how much we've learned from each other. Yeves is always very supportive of my business. He has purchased from me, encouraged others to purchase from me, and I have sponsored him because I respect him and his network. Spirit created the Eco Hub Logo and provided sustainable printing and sustainable consulting for the Eco Hub and many of the Eco Hub members --- and he drives home a larger message called "The Disconnect", which impacted me greatly. He said there's a disconnect between Cleantech and local green businesses and how a these larger companies will push their technology and serve you coffee in a styrofoam cup or hand you a business card "claiming to be printed on recycled paper". Well to my surprise, he delivered that message to large conferences and went right to the CEOs including Bob Noble and Jim Torti. Today, I print for many other companies that never heard of me because of this disconnect message. He is a great public speaker on the real issues and displays a kind of showmanship that drives a bold message like this home. Yeves, as a fellow Chief Green Officer, has introduced me to incredible ideas and has made countless recommendations for services I needed and for others who needed to increase their credibility. I have found him to always be very knowledgeable and helpful in the sustainable arena, and now I'm looking forward to the next chapter of our long-term relationship. As we always say --- It's all about the N-E-T-W-O-R-K!!! T

“I didn't know it at the time but Yeves had a great impact on my business. Ecohub put on a sustainability conference and invited professionals from the construction trades. I had been looking for a residential builder that understood green building. Paul Spadone from Streamline Development was one of the panelists for the round table discussion on green building. Paul and I got to know each other from that event and eventually did a great project together in Solana Beach. Paul is an excellent contractor and is renowed for his dedication to the environment. Without Yeves and Ecohub, Paul and I would have never met. I owe it to Yeves for putting on a great event and look forward to more events in the future.” June 2, 2011

In his role as the founder of the Eco Investment Club, Yeves was instrumental in connecting GM with key eco influencers in the San Diego region and helped us co-host one of the Volt's first public appearances in the region in 2009 prior to production. His depth of knowledge and network of institutional, academic and public and private company relationships in the green space is unmatched in San Diego.

“Yeves Perez is an up and coming Sustainability Executive and a force of nature. I've had the pleasure to get to know and rely on him for his information and connectivity not only in the Cleantech field, but in the media.
He has made several note worthy introductions for Noble Environmental Technologies and has been a long-time supporter of our ECOR products; exposing us to television crews on his notorious PR walk-throughs; attracted positive attention to our brand; introduced us to CA State Senator Christine Kehoe who is actively helping us bring together our manufacturing plant within the county; connecting us to like-minded collaborative partners, thus making the business case that for the green economy to grow, Cleantech needs to support green companies.
Yeves is a powerful connector and passionate about the industry.” June 9, 2011
