What inspires you to do the work you do?

The power of altruistic human drive and the belief that creating a harmonious, peaceful, ever-advancing world is possible inspire me. Every single moment there are people in the world working to create this. I see it everywhere, in my colleagues, my local community, the communities we work in.

On Sunday afternoons, you can find me...

What books are on your nightstand?

I love to read all sorts of book, with most of them focused on business/leadership or written by and about women (fiction, non fiction), although the “book” on my nightstand is my kindle app on my phone as mostly read digital books so I always have a selection and that small part of my life is de-carbonized.
