I have a strong practical entrepreneurship background having operated in the fields of international business, construction, energy solutions and sports and wellness for 15 years as an entrepreneur and CEO. After that I directed my interest towards understanding the bigger picture and started my path in Futures Research, which has led me to interesting projects in themes of circular economy, corporate foresight, innovation work, futures of wellbeing and individual sustainable futures.
