As a Sustainability and Engagement Strategist, I work at the intersection of social impact, sustainability, and circularity, supporting businesses and organizations through moments of change – whether launching new initiatives, developing products, navigating pivots, or reshaping narratives that no longer serve their mission.Together, we’ll start with defining practical strategy until we’ll see successful and scalable results.

I lead and support teams during projects, product development, and strategic launches, especially where a shift in perspective is needed. My role is to help organizations reframe challenges, define purpose, and align complex sustainability concepts with smart business goals.

I (co-)create practical roadmaps, strategic storytelling and narratives that engage teams, partners, and customers. These narratives align values with action and help sustainability become actionable, understandable, credible, and motivating; both internally and externally.

What I do

  • I co-create, collaborate, and design participatory formats to scale impact. By aligning values and bringing like-minded people together, I make seemingly impossible projects possible.

  • Together, we’ll identify what truly matters for your business or organisation and define a clear roadmap to achieve the intended results.

  • Good storytelling educates, inspires, and brings a fresh perspective to topics that may have been overlooked. Most of all, it doesn’t require an enormous budget and works equally well for municipalities, NGOs, and impact brands.

  • I LOVE public tenders because they let me imagine how the world could be – and then, once a tender is secured, turn that idealism into action. Whether it’s biodynamic agriculture or a zero-waste neighborhood, the work may begin with a successful tender but ends with a cleaner neighborhood. That’s the goal.

  • From intimate community gatherings to zero-waste, low-emission, large-scale street festivals, I’ve always loved hosting and organizing events that let people experience a subject firsthand. I don’t want to tell people; I want to show them – so they tell others.

  • To me, strategy is only ten percent of the magic. It requires a strong idea, but without following through to execution and measuring success, a strategy paper is worthless. My work doesn’t end with the strategy; it ends with a scalable pilot or MVP.
