High achiever, I'm deeply passionate about creating new initiatives that help people navigate their sustainability and strategic journey. It is essential for me to play my part in building a more sustainable world, for I believe it is necessary for humanity, but also prospering in business. Integrating sustainability into strategies through concrete actions tied to efficient communication should become a natural reflex, proving that sustainable development is not an oxymoron and can create shared value for all stakeholders. I also believe it is critical organisations fully consider the importance of their human capital, putting people and diversity back at the heart of their mission, while shaping or defining the clear purpose of their activities.
