I am a passionate intersectional social entrepreneur, committed to shaping a future that places people and the planet at the centre of all decisions. As a keen advocate for systemic and sustainable impact in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, I wish to join Catalyst2030 in fostering a world that honours and respects diverse ways of life. I strive to represent and bridge gaps in multiple communities through intersectionality. As the founder of Voicing Voices, an intersectionality start-up, I fully understand the power of co-creation and the necessity of acknowledging our biases. I'm eager to bring my experience to Catalyst2030 to break down silos and inspire the design and development of innovative solutions. Leadership, to me, is about collective impact and shared ownership. I am dedicated to crafting strategies that reflect this belief and address the multifaceted challenges we face. With a collaborative approach, we can co-create an equitable future, anchored in shared norms and mutual respect. In line with Catalyst2030's value, I recognise the audacity of our goals and the humility it requires to achieve them. I am aware that none of us can craft the path towards these goals alone, and am eager to collaborate and contribute to the collective wisdom of the Catalyst2030 community. Thank you for the opportunity to actively contribute to shaping a world where social justice, environmental sustainability, and ethical governance are more than ideals; they're the norms. Together, we can humanise system and champion inclusion in a way that’s sustainable for current and future generations. So yep that’s me 😀 I love all things system related, the SDGs and activating action that leads to co-creation for sustainable and systemic impact 🎉

I'm fulltime working as fundraiser for impact oriented startups and funds and want to maximize my impact on the SDGs through helping others.

I am passionate about social innovation and how we support and nurture the next generation of changemakers.

I see Catalyst as a rich international network of likeminded entrepreneurs engaged with challenges and opportunities for people and planet. I joined to extend my network, find organisations in other parts of the world to develop collaborative initiatives, and co-create products and activities of value to other Catalyst members.

Raising awarneness, collaboration and empowerment

Hello everyone! I'm a weaver and community alchemist, university lecturer and Doctorate of Business Administration candidate at Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM) in France, as well as a coach and consultant. I'm please to be part of the group as I find many synergies with convening, having been a facilitator of workshops for many years, work in community engagement both in France (where I'm based) and the US. As a scholar practitioner my research explores how the act of restoration/re-story-ation and re/membering Indigenous wisdom traditions informs individual perspectives and choices, organizational governance design, and/or broader initiatives. Other research interests include Indigenous entrepreneurship, as well as how the infusion of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) can inform innovative solutions for our present and future challenges. I see connections with Peter Block's work and the "systemic" cultural roots found in many indigenous communities. I'm looking forward to engaging in exchanges, learning, and sharing with this group.

To be part of a community with likeminded people with a common set of values, from all over the world!

I'm a social entrepreneur, strategic thinker, inspired by scalable, high impact projects to open better life choices for children and women in challenging environments. I work in supporting scale-up at nonprofits in children’s education and life-long learning and am a former diplomat. I am part of Catalyst to see how systems change is working through social enterprise and to orient my own work in line with the lessons of the community.

We need to work together across this Planet

I believe that Non-Profit leaders and missions deserve funding that is flexible, long term, trust based and collaborative. I Founded The Confluencers in 2018 with the vision of Re-Balancing Funding Relationships through Authentic Impact Communication for Non-Profit Fundraisers. I would like to support as many Non-Catalyst members as possible in overcoming any fundraising challenges they face and overcome together the funding gap, channelling more funding to local or grassroots organizations. I am also a Chartered Civil Engineer and specialist in Climate Resilience, Flood Risk Management and Water Resource Management and would love to connect with and support any member organizations driving change / shifting narratives in this space. Finally, I am a proud mother of one and advocate for equal rights for women in the workplace. I am keen system thinker. Always looking for new ways to work across disciplines to find mutually beneficial solutions to wicker problems. Reach out if you’d like to chat!!!

It can be exhausting leading social change. It can also be incredible. It is needed - as where we are as a society feels like it is in an in-between moment of flex. More than ever we need positive strategic direction, change leadership and doership. We know the old society we had isn't working for us with behaviours, social structures and systems that are past their use-by date. Yet we haven't yet collectively worked out and embedded the behaviours, systems and structures that we need and that will provide a fairer and more sustainable society. I'm looking for better ways to work in and lead social change, in my case in the area of disability inclusion. This includes better ways to more deeply understand, prioritise, act and collaborate with others addressing similar or the same challenges. I'd also like to support others as it is only together that we can get to a new set of behaviours, norms, structures and systems that will work more fairly and sustainably. Also, I'm happy to share lessons I've learned the hard way on the way and save others from repeating them!

To be part of a network, meet like-minded indivudals, take part in collaborations

Shift mindsets to engage more deeply with those we look to assist.

I have given a lot of time and resource in developing an arts chapter called Artsi. We have presented at assemblies on a number of occasions and offered our services as experts in using arts to make cultural, political and personal shifts in behaviours towards the SDG's. I will continue to do so. I feel there is not enough awareness given to the offer and it would help if Artsi was amplified somehow.

I'm the founder of www.earth-changers.com - tourism for sustainable development. I was the first commercial company in the world to write about the intersection of travel and the SDGs and have been fundamental in driving the message in the global tourism sector. We partner with and promote accommodations and tour operators whose operations are created on purpose to deliver SDG benefits in their destinations. This means you can take a trip safe in the knowledge your place to stay is benefitting its local people and places (where as most tourism is exploitative), and we do the hard work - researching, discerning and curating positive impact operations to which consumers wouldn't usually have access to behind-the-scenes management and impact information and you can just get on and have a lovely holiday! We have a limited number of places on our site, but hundreds behind the scenes. So if you have a destination in mind, just ask us! https://www.earth-changers.com/travel-with-us

I am passionate about people empowerment. Each human being is a leader and changer-maker that the world needs now. People only need to reconnect with their potential and purpose and bring their uniqueness to the table of the co-creators. However, too often we fail to reach our common goals, not because of the lack of money or public policies, but because too many people do not feel good and strong enough to be on that journey to create change. The first barriers we must overcome are our human insecurities. Only a mass of empowered people will be able to trigger the bottom-up dynamics that we are missing.

To connect with people from all over the world in order to contribute my quota to achieving the Catalyst 2030 goals by assisting in program organization, budgeting and fundraising ideas, monitoring, evaluating, and supervising programs and projects in any aspect of the SDGs while learning new things to improve my potential.

I love the mission behind the organization and the fact that we put members first.

My intention in being part of Catalyst is to find deep and meaningful connections with change makers to continue creating a more human reality in harmony with the Planet Earth. I see Catalyst 2030 as a safe/brave space. A community where I can be vulnerable, learn, unlearn, contribute and become a better version of myself as an entrepreneur, leader and person.

Together for more synergies and faster delivery. I'm the founder of Entnest - the digital infrastructure creating synergies instead of fragmentation and duplication, for the entrepreneurship ecosystem locally and globally.

I joined Catalyst 2030 because it places people at the center of its engagement. Catalyst 2030 is dynamic and opens many doors.

The reasons driving my desire to join Catalyst 2030 stem from my belief that collaboration is essential to generating meaningful systemic change.
