My ambition is to connect business, finance and sustainability. I do this from my background as a business administrator, chartered controller and sustainability expert. I am curious, eager to learn and passionate about the things I do. With my broad background in management positions in the business world on the one hand and academic experience on the other, I also want to bring practice and science together. The renewal that is needed to form the circular economy requires us to review our current patterns in society and the economy and structure them differently.
