Meet the DEAL Community

Genève, Geneva, Switzerland

en français ci-dessous. My intention is to find out how to implement the donut approach in our organisation. I'm a project manager at the FTI, the Fondation pour les Terrains Industriels de Genève. I launched the ecoParc-industriel dynamic at the FTI 10 years ago. I'm in charge of facilitating the establishment of companies on industrial land on a territorial scale that's bigger than the real estate plot: the urban piece or the plot of land (a neighbourhood block), with the idea of facilitating mutualisation and reducing environmental impacts. Mon intention est de percevoir comment implanter la pratique du donut dans notre organisation. Je suis chef de projet à la FTI, la Fondation pour les Terrains Industriels de Genève. J'ai créé il y a 10 ans la dynamique écoParc-industriel à la FTI. Je suis chargé de faciliter l'implantation d'entreprises sur les terrains industriels, dans une dimension territoriale plus grande que la parcelle immobilière : la pièce urbaine ou le lot de parcelle (un ilot de quartier), dans l'idée de faciliter les mutualisations et réduire les impacts environnementaux.

Derby, Derby, England, United Kingdom

I am an organisational  inclusion strategist, working to support leadership with and behavioural change at individual, team, and systems levels. I do that with my own consultancy Unheard Voice. I use ( ) as a foundation for this work. This is an academically robust approach to inclusive behaviours- if you're high in CQ you behave inclusively. It can be a missing link taking some of the guesswork out of the culture and values questions in the DE model. Before working full-time in inclusion, I did it part-time, within my Consultancy.  My career for 30 years before this was working in broadcast journalism as a journalist and leader. My mission is giving the unheard voice a place to speak.

Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia

I’m a sustainability consultant from Germany, now based in Medellín, Colombia, passionate about #CircularEconomy, #DoughnutEconomics, and #SustainableBusiness. I joined the DEAL Community to explore how Doughnut Economics can be applied to local communities and businesses in Colombia. I believe in using this framework to drive positive change, helping to avoid the environmental and social pitfalls industrialized countries have faced. I’m here to connect with like-minded people, learn from practical applications, and find opportunities to bring the Doughnut model into action, both professionally through my consultancy and personally through voluntary projects. Looking forward to exchanging ideas and collaborating!

I'm a project manager and map-maker. I've worked a lot with different types of data, especially in the Open Data space (using data that is publicly available). In recent years this has led me to an interest in sustainability in road traffic systems within Europe and towards sustainability in the more general sense. I have recently managed a couple of sustainable house renovation projects (reuse of materials, improving insulation and recycling building materials) and I'm working on editorial and curating projects in Italy, valorizing the cultural heritage.
