After 20 years as a senior programme manager at PwC, most recently leading PwC's Social Value Transformation, and in the context of a Climate and Nature Crisis that is unfurling right now, I want to help build a regenerative world. A world where human connection and experiences are valued more than consumption and materialism, and where our species can live in a regenerative way with nature and the environment. I see Donut Economics as a fundamental part of how we do this as a species.

From consumerism mercenary to change catalyst. After a decade building marketing strategies that maximized profits, I had an uncomfortable but necessary revelation: my skills were serving the wrong system. My transformation began when I saw myself for what I really was: a "consumerism mercenary." But I also discovered something powerful; the same tools I used to drive consumption could become amplifiers of systemic solutions. Why this transition mattersMillions of professionals are experiencing the same "awakening" I went through. We need bridges between the commercial world and social sector—translators who help scale innovations that truly matter. My north star: That my work generates community autonomy, not product dependency. What I bring to the social innovation ecosystem• Applied systems thinking: Translating complex ideas into narratives that mobilize communities • Regenerative strategic sommunication: 12+ years helping organizations articulate their transformative purpose • Collaborative leadership: Developing team autonomy, not hierarchical dependency • Transition facilitation: Expert at navigating undefined spaces and innovating without clear roadmaps. Does this transition resonate with you? Would you lead social innovation projects together? 📧 Let's connect: t.link/rodrigoponton [Communication + Strategy + Systems thinking]

less but better! Weniger Verbrauch, mehr Qualität, mehr Verantwortung. Wir müssen selbst beginnen und entschlossen die Bereitschaft zur Veränderung zeigen. Nachhaltigkeit kann weder konsumiert noch delegiert werden.
