Practical circularity and sustainability entrepreneur and initiator who creates win-win opportunities and finds the business case hidden in your environmental challenge. With 9+ years of experience in environmental technology, I focus on business development and innovation in areas such as organic waste valorization, recycling, bioenergy, waste to energy solutions, and climate neutral agricultural inputs. Over the course of my 12+ years in international business development and intercultural leadership, I have expanded business operations in different continents and managed an international team while serving MNCs, SMEs, (smallholder) farmers, governments, and NGOs alike. Earlier experience includes (strategy) consulting, coaching, and 8 years as an academic lecturer (post graduate and MBA). Central to my work and activities is an ever-present focus on positive-sum-game outcomes such as the triple bottom line, a reduction of environmental impact and carbon emissions, and an improved financial and ESG performance for customers, partners, stakeholders and society at large.
