Cologne, Germany

The Doughnut is a very interesting concept. I'm looking to learn more, and connect with people who are already using the tools actively. Until 2021 I used to work in the company my father founded, making unusual lighting fixtures. Due to a change of shareholders after my father's passing away, the company was sold. I'm looking for new things to do, but not as caterpillar manufacturer anymore. I'm specially interested in supporting projects in product design, architecture, urban planning, bicycles, projects run by women, projects that make the cities more friendly and livable, projects that help everyone to stop overconsumption

Munich, Germany

I'm a German lawyer by training and worked for 20 yrs in various leadership positions in financial services. I hold a PhD in law and initially specialized in large-scale capital markets and corporate transactions. Moving in-house, I broadened my expertise to regulatory & compliance, as well as operations, IT, digital strategy and digital transformation. I have lived, worked and studied in Frankfurt, Sydney, London, Hong Kong and Munich where I'm now based. In 2017, I was fed up with the resistance to change in the corporate world. I left her well-paid job to get some fresh air, update my operating system and gain new perspectives on change, innovation, and the state of the world. I embarked on a deep, self-directed learning journey which ultimately led to the realization that my true professional purpose was to support the shift from an extractive to a regenerative economic model. I see the world of business as uniquely positioned to facilitate rapid change and key to getting us out of the current mess. In 2021, I founded Business Reinvented and designed the Paradigm Changer Program for leaders called to deeply transform big business and create a new, sustainable business world. I'm part of a number of „liminal web“ communities and open to exploring opportunities and working more closely with like-minded souls to accelerate the shift to Game B. Most recently I completed the Regenerative Economics course with John Fullerton's Capital Institute.

Montevideo, Uruguay

university professor 

Luxembourg

I am a communication professional and my concerns for nature and society motivate me to find like minded people. I have been actively involved in nature, food, and water conservation campaigns. In my opinion development is hugely misinterpreted as consumerism. This is clearly evident in habits like eating, drinking, commuting, and producing. I think our approach needs to be much more caring. Apart from being a communication professional, I am the father of a nature-loving girl. And I do not want to disappoint her by thinking that her father has not contributed to the betterment of our planet.

Worcestershire

I'm occasionally involved with both the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Wildlife Trusts, own a stretch of the River Wye and some woodland. My contacts in those Trusts told me about a new 'phobia' amongst their younger volunteers, which they referred to as 'eco anxiety'. I share that, and have done so for well over 60 years, long before it became a new 'trend'.  I wrote and published my autobiography in February this year , and whilst writing it became aware of the thread of environmental concern I unconsciously wove into it. (as well as a few other things!). By the way I had no picture to hand so used that cover as my profile. Remove it if you feel it's inappropriate.  I'm a retired businessman, was listening to radio 4 yesterday, and realised Kate Raworth was speaking my language. THAT is how I ended up here! If I can help in any way financially or otherwise let me know

Birmingham,UK

 My perception of present day economic policies and banking system are utte  fake. It is totally manipulated by a group of world organisations. There should be an alternative force to change the current system for global economy for better change. I encourage my children to find the right organisation for their career development.

I am a curator of partnerships with international platforms and global networks specialised in access to innovative thinking and making connections for the benefit of business, investments and philanthropy leaders.

MSc Sustainability Apprentice

Leiden

After attending environmental biology education in the eighties, organising international environmental education in the nineties and performing research and consultancy on sustainability form the start of the millennium, I got involved in the activities of the lokal foundation "Ideewinkel" in Leiden in 2010. Since 2014 as projectleader of the "Groene Ideecafé", I offer together with a working group a platform for local sustainable initiatives. It aims to inform, inspire connect and activate the network of citizens, that aim to apply the global sustainable development goals at a local level. Inspired by the Amsterdam City Portrait, I started looking for soul mates to initiate and support the process with the Leiden Donut Coalition. With the help of the local network of social an ecological networks, and the energy and enthousiasm of students of the programme Governance of Sustainability, we want to create the first Leiden City Selfie and formulate recommendations on how to proceed to complete the Leiden City Portrait. To contribute to reaching a balance at local and global scale between the needs of people and safe planetairy boundaries.
