Passionate recent Graduate in MSc in Business, Language and Culture (Business and Development Studies). Norwegian who grew up with deaf parents (first language is therefore sign-language). Studied in Copenhagen, Denmark where I also have worked with Nordic Consulting Group (Core Areas of NCG range from Governance, State & Civil Society and Climate & Environment to Human Rights & Equality w/ clients as the European Commission, the World Bank, UN agencies, regional development banks, national ministries, CSOs, Red Cross, etc). Have also done an internship at the UN HQ in NYC, USA with the United Nations Global Compact. Wrote thesis (which might now get published) about Circular Economy and Material Innovation in the Textile and Apparel Industry. Found there to be too little peer and non-peer reviewed work and discussion on social aspects and of introducing CE, as well as on degrowth - which brought me here.

Orlando, Florida, United States of America

My professional background is digital marketing strategy, CRM, and data. I've worked across many industries & countries and I cannot morally 'sell more products", "grow market share", or talk about how to influence consumers to use their "disposable income" to purchase more disposable things. These things that end up in the landfills and during production contribute to pollution and social injustice. However, in our digital world, I feel that I have a part to play in the role of social change by helping elevate awareness, inspire action, and contribute to a positive impact. I want to help empower sustainable consumers to buy from sustainable and eco-conscious companies. I am a sponge and learning more & more about sustainability each day through books, articles, documentaries, online courses, and certification programs related to green building, food systems/ agriculture, and natural systems.

Spokane, Washington, United States of America

Kathryn is the Chief Strategist for SoilSmart–SoilWise.org as well as a consultant, author and educator, an expert in ethics, systems thinking and change.  Kathryn’s early work combined her interest in change, systems thinking, ethics and values, themes that continue to this day. Kathryn’s sense that Western culture was imbalanced in some way drove her to seek deeper understanding by looking into the foundation (nature), and driving forces at work that clarified the effective application of ethics and values she saw expressed around her.   Kathryn’s shift to nature as the expert provided a strong framework for effective and harmonious change, in sync with nature – the largest system. The discovery of the biotic pump and the meta crisis we are facing, drove Kathryn to shift her focus into the education and application of this new systems understanding of how rain is formed and how the planet has been cooling itself since the beginning.   Designated as a “Woman to Watch’ in Sustainability in 2012 by the Boulder Weekly, she was previously on the faculty of the Sustainable Business Practices Program at the University of Colorado Boulder, Regis University and the Entrepreneur Community Online teaching strategy, organizational change, systems theory, business psychology, and work team development. Her published work includes “What’s It Mean, Shifting to Green?   Fascinated with organizational change, Kathryn was an early student of systems thinking creating study groups for the Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge and studying with Fritjof Capra, starting in the 80s. Her change work showed her the impact of tacit values on leadership and management styles.   Kathryn developed the model Birds of a Feather™  and a tool for assessing organizational culture strategically, Strategic Leadership Assessment™, and with Verna Allee is the co-author of the Quality Tools Matrix™.
