Durante muchos años estuve en el carro del sistema imperante, hasta que un día me caí del caballo y me di cuenta de lo mal que estaba haciendo las cosas. Ese día me comprometí a poner toda mi experiencia como responsable de producción, responsable de calidad, directora comercial y directora de recursos humanos (para mi Gente), al servicio de la sociedad de forma ética y defendiendo los valores que hasta entonces inconscientemente había insultado. Ahora acerco el Bien Común a las Organizaciones uniendo Personas, creando estrategias de venta honestas y utilizando métricas de impacto social ambiental (RSE, ECG, B Corp, etc.). Especializado en proyectos de la Base de la Pirámide (BOP), también hago un poco de guerra como orador y formador. Es un honor para mí ser cofundador de BIKOnsulting. He sido editor de EBC en la Cátedra UNESCO de Desarrollo Sostenible UV, docente-editor de cursos de consultoría de EBC. Soy auditor y consultor de organizaciones para la “Economía del Bien Común”, también “Change Maker” B Corp 2019-2020 y consultor certificado para B Corp Europa.

From Business Transformation Consultant to Sustainability Capacity Building Facilitator for organisations that need to interpret and analyse their environmental impact. I co-founded the "Greece Doughnut Economics" network in 2021. We are a small and dynamic network that has been meeting regularly. My dream is to accomplish the translation of the book into Greek and run workshops using the Doughnut tool in Greek municipalities.

I am a life-long learner. From a early background in computer systems, which gave me a whole-systems lens through which to approach the rest of my life, I've been an educator, author, artist, Transition movement trainer/contributor (since 2008), Permaculture instructor/designer, group facilitator, complementary currency designer, researcher, parent, grandparent. I love seeing through multiple lenses and points-of-view. I guess you could say I am a Whole-Systems, Biomimicry, "DANCING ON MY LEARNING EDGES" explorer ... contributing, connecting, and loving, with joy.

I am a purpose-driven and strategic movement maker, presenter and public speaker with a hands-on approach to production. Drawing from my 8+ years of international experience in community building, storytelling, and event & content production, I thrive on connecting people and driving positive change. With a background in communication science, international relations, yoga, mindfulness, permaculture design and regenerative leadership, my mission is to rekindle the connection between people and nature. In 2019 I co-created the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a grassroots movement consisting of more than 1000 people in Amsterdam who are actively applying the principles of the doughnut economy. The impact of this initiative resonated globally, leading me to speak at numerous influential conferences, ranging from Berlin to Tokyo. My insights of the doughnut economy were featured in interviews with TIME Magazine and I had the privilege to deliver a TEDx talk about a regenerative future. Finally, I founded an international community, encompassing 30+ cities worldwide, to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration in driving the adoption of the doughnut economy. Let's connect and create a regenerative future together! Watch and read about my work in the following media: TEDx talk TIME Magazine SKY NEWS YES Magazine De Standaard La Liberation
