About Daniel Koeppel

My passion lies in driving positive change – be it for individuals, companies, nations or the environment.My goal (or “Ikigai”) is to inspire change where environmental considerations become an integral part of economic decisions. I am driven by a mindset of continuous improvement and am not afraid to challenge traditional approaches in search of innovative solutions. My goal is to work with forward-thinking management teams and organizations and ensure that we focus on shaping the future rather than settling for the status quo.As a sustainability leader with 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry and 13 years in sustainability, I have dedicated the second part of my career to environmental transformation. After completing my Master's degree in Environmental Sustainability Management and Technology, I refocused my focus to combine my professional experience with my passion for sustainable development.I help companies improve their sustainability efforts, increase performance, communicate efficiently, and value new values.I enjoy working with like-minded individuals and companies who are ready to embrace sustainability, innovation, and progress without excuses.
