The Sustainability Puzzle
Collaboration is key to making sustainability a reality. As pragmatic thinkers and doers, Alice Schmidt and Claudia Winkler have teamed up to write a book about how we can work together to achieve sustainability. Drawing on their combined 40+ years of experience in addressing issues of social justice, climate action, the circular economy, technology and sustainable business, they show why we should be optimistic about sustainable transformation and offer constructive insights on building back better.
A bigger-picture thinker since early in her career, Alice Schmidt has worked with UN agencies, the European Commission, the African Union, the World Bank and a host of different NGOs as well as with large corporations and small social enterprises in 30+ countries on four continents.
Claudia Winkler is an internationally recognised award-winning social innovator, entrepreneur and serial founder. She believes in the power of shaping a positive tomorrow by transforming traditional business models that work for the next generation. She is passionate about sharing her corporate executive experience managing leading international tech companies to mentor and coach impact initiatives across the globe.
