Ervaring

I've built my career on bridging commercial growth and innovation for positive social and environmental impact in diverse fields, such as fashion, design, and hospitality. I am driven by a passion and steadfast commitment to realizing new possibilities. I've held strategic roles in NGOs, think-tanks, startups, established companies, and been consultant and advisor to brands, investment firms, and startup-hubs.

In Business Development, I have successfully expanded multiple organizations, including the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, where I was singularly responsible for their growth across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and globally throughout covid - managing to drive our biggest net growth to date despite the turbulent times.

Committed to innovation and positive impact, I started my career with Terreform ONE a city design and architecture research group. More recently, I worked with Impact Hub AMS to revamp and build out their Fashion Ecosystem; supported ops, investor events and comms for PYM, the impact investor network. Towards experience design & sustainable lifestyles, managed hotel operations and experience for awarded experiential wellness property, MARRAM.

Beyond strategic growth, I’m adept in events, having co-produced global member meetings to NY Fashion Week events. As a freelancer, I’ve worked with realestate investment firms, such as Torus Capital (communications, marketing), and been published in Whitewall Magazine.
