Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I help companies implement their innovation ambitions and integrate sustainability into their strategy. My extensive experience in product innovation, service design, and strategy consulting delivers practical, actionable results.

My approach is pragmatic and results-oriented: whether it's a one-hour session to advance your innovation project or full strategy development, we proceed step-by-step to effect meaningful change. I specialize in user-centric concepts that align people, planet, and profit, viewing sustainability not as an overwhelming task, but as a manageable and strategic goal.
