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.

My Message

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.

As the founder of The Place Brand Observer and Sustainability Leaders United, I have access to current trends, best practice examples and innovative ideas in both topic areas – strategic place branding and sustainable tourism leadership.

“Strong brands need identity, and attractive destinations and  locations need sustainability.”
