I have 20+ years of experience working with governments, business, not for profits, international organisations, and consumers on projects ranging from $5k to $20M. I've worked with all kinds of organisations, from Apple to the UN.If you have a circular economy project with big goals and ambitions and you need support with things like developing your strategy or implementation plan, let's talk.
