About Me

As the founder of Sustainability Leaders United and The Place Brand Observer, I have spent the last 12 years learning about the fascinating world of tourism and sustainability, and place brand development, mostly by interviewing and connecting with over 500 leading professionals worldwide (and counting). It’s their insights, stories, achievements – and also failures – which interest me the most, and which I share via my two knowledge platforms and as a speaker, coach and advisor.

Strong brands and sustainability. How does that fit together? That’s the question I deal with as author, speaker, coach and advisor for tourism companies, destinations and locations.
