Hello, I'm Myriam Best, welcome to my profile ! As a core team member of the Swiss Donut Economics Network, I am committed to making the doughnut a reality in Switzerland. My contribution focuses on advocacy, communication and consulting for public and private actors. A few words about my journey thus far ... The unfolding social, environmental and climate crises have led me to rethink my personal and professional aspirations. A slow and complex process, accelerated by motherhood in times of the gloomy outlook synthesised by the IPCC reports. 2022 was a pivotal year that took me back to university, 15 years after my first Master's degree! Guided by a burning need to dedicate my skills, time and energy to making the world a better, fairer and more livable place for all, I joined the Masters in Degrowth: Ecology, Economy and Politics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In doing so, I equipped myself with the best available knowledge on the causes of the social, environmental and climate crises, and delved into the discovery of post-growth economics and politics as a plausible way out of the polycrisis. More importantly, I joined an international network of committed change-makers! I am also a professional with 15 years of international corporate and client consulting experience in strategy, human resources, change management, digitalisation and organisational design. I have successfully led complex transformation programmes in international corporations and SMEs across a range of sectors. Former colleagues and clients praise my ability to make the complex accessible, to engage people of all backgrounds and to remain cool under pressure while keeping spirits high.  Happy to be in touch!
