Hello, I'm Francine, I like to think of myself as a circular thinker. This mindset has brought me curiosity and encouraged me to question conventional thinking. My eagerness for knowledge has provided me with opportunities to challenge the conventional linear patterns we often follow as a society. Doughnut Economics book was one of those wake-up calls. As an expert in sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies, I co-founded Conexus.Earth in Australia, a consultancy that guides businesses to track their sustainability/ESG commitments with powerful methodologies and tools to build the journey to make actions. I strongly believe that when we align methodologies and tools, we have the power to transform ideas into impactful actions. It's about picking up a pencil and drafting out fresh insights, connecting all the dots across environmental, social, and governance aspects in a collaborative way. The Doughnut Economics methodology can unleash our collective potential and create magic. Join the DEAL community brings to me the gift of connecting with like-minded individuals. Together, we can rewrite the traditional linear notion of growth into a balanced, interconnected ecosystem that promotes planetary well-being and a society with equal opportunities for all.

I studied urban management and development with a specialization in Economics and a master's degree in Urban Management, Sustainability, and Climate Change.  I possess a holistic approach that enables me to analyze, develop, and address challenges in a unique manner. With seven years of experience in diverse fields spanning the private and public sectors, I have gained a comprehensive perspective. Throughout my career, I have worked on various topics, including sustainable mobility, socio-economic and financial assessment, risk assessment, project evaluation, research, urban planning, and sustainability from different stakeholder viewpoints. This breadth of experience equips me with a well-rounded approach to tackling challenges, problems, and projects. Two years ago, I made the decision to pursue my dream of acquiring further knowledge in the field of sustainability. This led me to choose the Netherlands as the destination for my master's studies. Embarking on this path required a considerable leap in my professional journey, and while it was not an easy decision to start anew, my dedication to contributing to the creation of a more sustainable world remains unwavering.  Upon learning about the DEAL community and the specific role it offers, I was immediately captivated by the prospect of bridging the gap between theory and practice. Recognizing the significance of collaboration with key stakeholders, including businesses, cities, academia, and citizens. I consider that it is imperative that we take actionable steps to reduce adverse impacts on the environment and cultivate awareness of the planet's limits. This awareness is crucial for informing decision-making processes on a global scale, all from a sustainability perspective.
