Digital Innovation in Sustainability, Climate Change and International Development
Co-creating innovation with Impact Organizations and Change Makers, so you can focus on what you do best: save the world.
Impact meets People meets Digital Innovation
I work collaboratively with impact organizations and change makers to introduce context-aware, appropriate innovations and solutions. My passion is to devise, develop and implement approaches and technologies that support and extend organizations’ missions – using methods that are centered around the people, causes and organizational limitations*, rather than technology for its own sake. I develop partnerships for success and have repeatedly spoken in public about the topics I am passionate about.
* financial, resources, time, etc.
