As an ESG Strategist
Businesses played a defining role in humankind's history, and I'm eager to see how they fulfill their potential in the upcoming chapter. I help companies meet our future's opportunities, responsibilities, and challenges: create value through appreciating sustainability, social responsibility, governance, and geopolitical factors during internationalization or in multinational businesses.
ESG Value Creation Wheel
Megatrends shape the companies' business model enablers and drivers. I facilitate the integration of ESG factors into corporate and competitive strategies, engage the C-suite leadership, and aid in establishing the tactical framework.
I also help shape specific business processes and facilitate corporate culture change.
I currently research ESG-driven value-creation strategies of Private Equity companies and family-owned businesses.
