I`m a circular entrepreneur keen on rethinking the design of an organization to make it fit for the 21st century. I believe the doughnut is a smart and comprehensive economic compass to navigate our way through the challenges of the 21st century. I try to contribute to the concept with theoretical and practical work.

Southampton, England, United Kingdom

I am a Social Enterpriser pushing back strongly on the idea that greed is the only motivating force for human achievment. We need an economy dedicated to the production of 'enough' rather than 'as much as possible'. I want to create an example of a practical solution to the production of useful, beautiful and cherished products where each unit produced creates a measureable positive effect on combatting climate-change, boosting biodiversity and mending mental health. I was born at the begining of the oil boom and began my working career as the climate-change danger was identified. My generation has a responsibility here.

I work in sustainability and social change. I have a background in evaluation of operational systems, grassroot project and program developments in areas of education, design and in the last 15 years, the social enterprise sector, focusing in values of community and environmental action.

Berlin, Deutschland

Passionate cyclist, journalist-turned-activist ever since 9/11, Social entrepreneur and NGO co-founder. Through my working life, I came to the understanding that it's high time to deconstruct this monolith called "economics" and Kate/Donut, Silke Helfrich/Commons, ecogood.org and others are doing a great job. Let's create economies incorporating C2C, social justice and an inclusive understanding of nature - following the understanding that in the "anthropocene" it is on us to carry the responsibility for mother earth.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America

Wilmslow, England, United Kingdom

I've spent the last 25 years helping people from all over the world to learn, grow and transform themselves and their workplaces. With some good friends, I'm now in the process of founding a new digitally-enabled community: Inquire-Evolve-Transform. No matter where we are in the world we can inquire, evolve, and transform ourselves, taking timely action to make our world a better place. Inquire - Evolve - Transform will be a heart-centered, learning community founded in the UK with global reach, built on valuing all creation and living out inquiring, loving action in the world. It will become a community of transformative inquirers, discovering, and expressing our unique reasons for being in the world; making a difference in our homes, local communities, workplaces, and the world we inhabit; playing our part in addressing the challenges of the multiple crises facing humanity; and co-creating a future where all creation can thrive and flourish.
