I lead GoBlu’s ‘Pillar 3’ on marketing and communication, including meaningful marking, our Sustainability Showcase, technical communication and CSR report writing. During the early 80s, I rode a bicycle from Kathmandu to Colombo, and across Indonesia (from Kupang to Jakarta), activating a lifelong interest in the Asian region and sustainability. After completing a PhD in Asian Studies and Communication (funding my by tutoring, lecturing and editing academic papers), I moved to Hong Kong in early 2000, working for Asia’s oldest and most respected labour rights NGO, the Asia Monitor Research Centre. Returning to academia (where I taught, researched and published widely on labour law, health and safety, sustainability and worker rights in supply chains), I co-founded and managed Asia’s first CSR boutique consulting firm, CSR Asia. I have a wealth of experience consulting with companies in the Asian region, from Fortune 500 firms to SMEs. I have held advisory board positions assisting organizations on sustainability for Solidaridad, HP, and the GSCP. I worked on the first iterations of the labour indicators for GRI, and have written dozens of academic and popular articles and CSR reports. I have advised hundreds of companies on sustainability strategies, and am a recognized pioneer in sustainability in Asia. I'm an Honorary Institute Fellow at the Asia Pacific Institute of Business (at The Chinese University of Hong Kong), and a visiting lecturer for an annual summer module on sustainability and business at the Rotterdam School of Management.I'm a firm believer that if solving sustainability issues was easy, it would have been done by now. As with most things, it’s not just about technical solutions; it’s about people.
