Worcester, UK

I've always worked in industry, starting in a lab and working up through process development and project management to operations management. Throughout that journey of having a focus on objects and processes to a focus progressively involving more and more people and their futures, I've come to understand the power of pictures and ideas that are supported by good data and logical reasoning. Doughnut Economics brings many, if not all of my ideas into a wider space. I have a broad range of interests crossing from the arts to science and maybe a touch of philosophy too. I'm also very practical and prefer to be making something. Sitting still is not a natural state for me.

Willemstad

My passion lies in social and environmental development with a specific focus on the interlinkage between communities, civil society and sustainability. My goal is to contribute to the strategic development and implementation of changing initiatives that make a positive contribution to the lives of many.

Coventry UK

I am a professionally qualified surveyor that recently reached retirement age. I have always been a busy person so am now stepping back from full time to part time working but looking to use the rest of my non family focused time to give some of my many years of life and work experience back to society. The biggest challenge facing us all, and particularly our grandchildren’s children is the future survival of our planet. Thus my focus is to find the best way I can use my experience to add value to that cause.

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Haute-Savoie, France

I'm working towards a world in which business leaves more value than it takes, and puts positive impact before profit, in service of a just and liveable future for all. I work as an independent marketing consultant, organisation designer and change facilitator for leaders of social value, sustainable and impact-led organisations. I bring 25 years of real-world business experience, coupled with a profound understanding and authentic commitment to addressing the change that’s needed to secure a thriving future for life on Earth. I'm exploring the potential of marketing to play a key role in the transition to a regenerative future. What if collectively, as marketers, we could transform our industry into a fairer, kinder, more ethical and responsible place, which encourages sustainable behaviour change and nurtures well-being?

Antwerp

  I love helping people with any jewellery that needs repairing or gentle re-designing. My workshop can't handle a full melt-down-and-remodel kind of service but I'm happy to adjust or edit pieces that already exist, provide a quick re-polish, etc. I also occasionally do work on commission for friends and family, and am working on a way to expand that network locally as well as internationally in the most sustainable way.  In my part-time work as a teacher of jewellery history I plan to integrate as much visibility of the doughnut into the syllabus as possible (sustainable materials and techniques) to inspire my students to think 'inside the doughnut'.

Sophia Antipolis, France and Barcelona, Spain

After 20+ years in corporate strategy consulting and the tech business, I progressively switched my mindset and practices to supporting organizations in their transformational journey towards eco-social-compatible models. 🍩🌍 I am very inspired by the Doughnut Economics concepts and theory and as an action-oriented person pushing for transformative change, I enjoy guiding organizations through their journey to embrace regenerative and distributive dynamics, thanks to the powerful tools developed by the DEAL. I am an experienced facilitator and trainer of several Fresks (playful, collaborative, and creative workshops that raises awareness on several environmental and social issues) such as The Climate Fresk, The Planetary Boundaries Fresk, The Regenerative Economy Fresk, The Agri-Food Fresk, The Digital Fresk …  I am engaged in several local initiatives around regenerative economy in my local area (French Riviera in South of France) to bring these concepts and theory into practice, via experimentation at community level.   I am delighted to join this rich and inspiring community to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from you and share insights and practices.
