ABOUT ME

Dedicated to leading change in an international context for two decades, I have enjoyed bridging...

 

sectors - bringing together Multinationals with Civil Society Organisations, Government agencies with cutting edge Creatives, farmers with environmentalists

 

disciplines - spanning from an MBA in Sustainability Management (focusing on Competence and Organisation Development), Economics, Law, Sociology & Aboriginal Studies to Landcare - and drawing from insights of neuroscience and IT

 

cultures - growing up with an English mom and German dad, living in different countries and having worked with people from all continents

 

...to nurture diversity for innovative solutions

for a Sustainable Future
