Meet the DEAL Community

Belgium

Consultant and teacher at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, I am passionate about strategy issues in public and non-market organizations.

Germany

Having worked as an organisational culture and change creator, I am now moving into sustainability consulting while working towards becoming a regenerative practitioner. I work remotely for a New Zealand based environmental engineering and science company, which has been an incredible journey in terms of learning from indigenous science, and how to respectfully incorporate that in our approach.  My mission is empowering people and creating change, this is why I founded CM Space, a company with which I´d like to experiment with regenerative ways of being in business and help others to do the same!

New York City

I'm a dad who wants to do everything in his power to ensure his kids grow up on a livable planet.   I grew up in Vermont, where a love of nature and a zeal for proper seasons -- cold, snowy winters; wet green springs, warm (but not unenjoyable hot) summers; and clear crisp falls -- was our birthright and the wellspring of our economy.   By day I work in tech sales and dream of founding/joining a coop that leads the shift towards a sustainable circular economy.

Bethnal Green, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England, United Kingdom

I am a home educator of 2 girls and a transformative coach, and through the process of becoming and being a parent, I find myself actively and joyfully recovering from life as a neo-liberal capitalist. It is a dance of revelation, horror, hopelessness and grief, and, on the flip side, deep love, gratitude, connectedness, faith - and concious action. As I see it now I'm interested in three particular threads; 1. rebuilding a local food network and recovering my own capabilities as part of this eco-agriculture system 2. how to make the umbrella term "regenerative education" 'a thing' that is seen as worthwhile, valuable and integral to our future 3. how to make and grow a self-directed education setting so that it is not dependent on parents ability to pay, within a still very capitalist economy (and ultimately make self-directed education a truly viable alternative to our coercive, colonial school model) I'm especially keen to connect with people who consider themselves part of the "regenerative education" movement to see how we can bring together our lived experience, community and collaboration to transform our capitalist culture.

Born in Morelia, Mexico in 1982. Electronic Engineer and Master in Mechanical Engineering  and Master in Business Administration. With more than 15 years of professional experience in Project Management in the health care and oil & gas industry. In 2021,  I decided to initiate a PhD in Development and Sustainability,  currently working from an interdisciplinary approach to research in the area of Development and Sustainability, where economic, social and ecological sciences are complemented with my technical and project management knowledge to contribute to the construction of a new paradigm of development from a multidimensional approach where technology, nature, institutions, society and culture converge and synergize. My main professional interests are sustainability, project development and management, impact investment, renewable energies, climate change, systems thinking and system dynamics, engineering and transdiscipline and transition theories. In the personal area, philosophy as a form of secular development of the spirit, literature, photography and nature appreciation. I consider myself a polymath.
