Welcome to my page and window into my professional life 👋I am on a mission to re-connect people with nature by bringing nature to our cities in innovative and impactful ways. I use entrepreneurship and business as my vehicle for change 🚗🌿I believe in the following:- We must look to nature workings and its timeless wisdom to resolve the many challenges we are collectively facing 🦖- We must reconnect ourselves with nature to truly understand our unique human role on our beautiful blue spaceship 🌏- Real change will only happen when we engage in this journey with our hearts and emotions and not only with our rational mind ❤️- Business is a powerful lever for economic and societal change at scale ✅After 12 years working in the petroleum industry, I took a drastic turn in my professional life by starting my entrepreneurial journey. 🤩Urban Canopee brings the benefits of trees in urban environments where actual trees cannot be planted by installing living shade structures. This venture has led me to spearheading the concept of Nature-Based Placemaking in Australia. 🌱🏢More recently, I have engaged in a brand-new adventure in the wonderful world of life that glows in the dark by adding two new business activities to my portfolio. Aglae creates magical events by turning living plants into luminescent beauties 🌼 and Glowee seeks to re-enchant the world by lighting our cities with living light. ✨I now live in a world at the crossroad between environment, art, science, innovation and business where cross-disciplinary actions are at the heart of my everyday endeavours. I love evolving in the "in between" spaces of society as this always where innovation and change happens ⏫ If you resonate with the above message, please reach out - I love meeting new people! Connection with each other will invariably lead to connection with the rest of the living world ❤️
