Business Advisor

I enable organizations and businesses to thrive through design thinking, strategic market development, and a commitment to sustainability.

My diverse background spans corporate innovation, sustainability initiatives, and academia. I began as a product designer at Philips Electronics and later moved to the software industry, working with Alias Systems and Autodesk. At Autodesk, I led corporate sustainability programs, supporting social and environmental entrepreneurs and promoting eco-friendly practices in product development.

Today, I leverage my extensive experience as a consultant, mentor, and public speaker, translating sustainability into a strategic asset for companies and social impact organizations. My insights have been shared at global platforms and industry conferences, including COP21 and COP23, where I discussed strategy, climate change, and clean technology.

Additionally, I am a contributing author to "One Million Monkeys," a book on critical analysis, providing editorial support, and in collaboration with Gil Chavez.

I am committed to lifelong learning. I hold a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) degree from Hult International Business School, an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and a bachelor of science degree in industrial design from the Art Center College of Design, USA. I have also pursued courses at MIT and Cambridge.

As a global citizen, I have lived and worked in Asia from 1997 to 2022, including Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and now reside in Berlin, Germany.
