Hi, greetings from Indonesia! I'm Veda, I graduated from the University of New South Wales (Gadigal Land) with a degree in Commerce, specializing in Global Sustainability and Social Impact, and Strategy and Innovation. I have no background in environmental management or engineering. In fact, I used to study brand management and worked for 3 years as a marketer. However, the two fields brought me closer than ever to understanding the role of the private sector in creating an 'operating space' that is ecologically safe and socially just—just as Kate Raworth explained in her Doughnut Economics theory. I am looking to connect with the community who have applied the Doughnut firsthand and gain more insight on what I can do to help my country and my workplace.

I have a background in human rights monitoring and advocacy, and I've founded GoZero to work on climate change and planetary boundary overshoot, here in Aotearoa New Zealand. I'm really interested in applying a holistic, systems approach to these challenges, and building community understanding and engagement in order to generate much-needed buy-in for transformational change.

With over 25 years of experience working in several areas across the built environment, I’ve shaped my career around a deep passion for sustainability, innovation and making a real difference. I specialise in strategy, risk management, reporting and transformation, with a focus on driving practical change rather than sticking to convention. From promoting net-zero solutions to supporting circular economy principles and rethinking how we design and deliver communities, I enjoy challenging the status quo. I take a collaborative and creative approach to engaging stakeholders, always aiming to balance environmental, social, and economic priorities. I believe bold ideas should translate into real outcomes, shaping places that future generations can be proud of. I am a self-motivated leader who thrives on turning ambitious visions into reality and making the impossible possible. Outside of work, you can find me building Lego sets, traveling or playing water polo.
