Background

About Simone Gager

As a design thinking expert, I am triggered by challenges that impact the way we live and consume, as people, as businesses, as brands, as cities manifesting the system. I’m passionate about designing a better future, and therefore to me sustainability and the circular economy provide a huge innovation potential. I have a strong background in impact strategy consulting, circular economy design and business innovation as well as programme leadership for sustainability. As a versatile head of sustainable innovation programmes in the commercial, consultancy and NGO world, I have learned to play to my strengths as a multidisciplinary visionary, connecting the dots, building, orchestrating and implementing strategies for impact and scale across different stakeholders’ playing fields. I have a can-do attitude, a thinker as much as a doer. My leadership style builds trust and collaborations, empowering others to be able to reach that Northern star together. Let’s have a conversation how we can make a sustainable future possible for everyone. Expert in sustainability and the circular economy, circular design, circular business & brand innovation. Visionary and strategic vigour to establish and manage sustainable impact innovation programmes. Broad senior industry experience steering multidisciplinary teams and processes, stakeholders and partners.
