In which sustainability area do you feel at home and why?

My absolute favorite sustainability area is clearly circular economy! The Circular Economy is simply the best, most comprehensive concept available to us to address all the major challenges of our time - from climate change to biodiversity loss to Europe's competitiveness.

How do you transform complex sustainability topics into concrete solutions?

With my enthusiasm for sustainability, I translate well-founded expertise into ambitious yet achievable strategies. Practical measures backed by concrete goals help with implementation, and meaningful indicators enable ongoing monitoring, targeted management, and above all communication about one's own environmental or sustainability performance.

What drives you in your work for sustainable transformation?

I am driven by the hope that together we can leave this world a little better than we found it.

What do you value about working in an interdisciplinary team?

Through the brilliant breadth and diversity of the various consultants in our network, we can truly advise systemically and support companies well in various projects and accompany them to success.

What opportunity for socially just business do others not yet see?

My vision is that we develop towards a Circular Society, where the focus is not primarily on economics (in the literal sense of the Circular Economy), but sustainability and circularity are thought of holistically and systemically.
