I studied economics and started questioning the economic models. This is how I first learned about the donut economy - a new approach which I find very inspiring. I want to help spread the word and make people aware that there are different approaches besides capitalisms out there - more social more sustainable. Less is more and growth is not always the solution for everything. We need to understand to give and let those societies grow which really need it. I'm very much interested in city projects like the one in Amsterdam which apply the donut approach for the first time. Those are projects which really inspire and show that different ways are possible.

I am an author who previously worked in the oil and gas industry and am now a sustainability activist. My first two books focus on the oil, gas and process industries where I outline what is required to enhance the performance of the managed assets. The second book dives into the management of turnarounds which is crucial for the long term success of the company. My third book explores the long term survival of businesses where they have to refocus on renewables to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. My overall focus is on the long term sustainability of businesses. The realignment of fossil fuel companies to become sustainable, using new technologies and ideas, is of particular interest to me. The phasing out of fossil fuels needs careful consideration to minimize the social and environmental impacts while ensuring an economically viable transition to net zero emissions.
