I have spent the last decade on trying to understand how to integrate organizational strategy with sustainability to help businesses and ecosystems transform for a truly sustainable economy. In the role of a trusted advisor, I have been engaged to help organizations and individual executives introduce what I call sustainable strategizing into business thinking and practice to become fit for the future.
Recent engagements as academic and strategic advisor include
- Spearheading the development and expert selection for a global ESG expert training program of a Big Four company
- Coaching senior ESG executives in private companies to refine organizational ESG strategy and design corresponding business transformation journeys
- Supporting strategy and sustainability professionals on preparation for new disclosure requirements such as CSRD and EU-Taxonomy
- Advising professional service firms on how to establish ESG/sustainability transformation practices and impactful service offerings
- Advising management training providers on the development of sustainability-oriented strategy and ESG curricula
I have been associate editor of the International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility published by Springer, reviewer of conference proposals for the Strategic Management Society and the Academy of Management, as well as reviewer of book manuscripts and paper proposals for various academic journals including Business Strategy and the Environment (Wiley), Journal of Strategy and Management (Emerald), Journal of Sustainability Research (Hapres) and International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility (Springer).
Do not ask what sustainability can do your business. Ask what your business can do for sustainability.
