Summary

Sustainability Management (MAS) ° frmr intl. EMS Certification Auditor ° Hotelmanagement (HF) ° Change-Driver ° Multicultural & Intergenerational ° Kaizen. 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 („kaizen“) 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 vintage sustainability change driver with 2 decades of experience in the hospitality industry and more than a decade combining the aforementioned with 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 moved my focus to combine my professional experience with my passion for sustainable development. I help companies improve their sustainability efforts, increase performance, efficient communication and reevaluate their values. I thrive when working with like-minded individuals and companies who are ready to embrace sustainability, innovation, and progress.
