Lieke's introduction

I am an impact and innovation strategist at Innoboost with a deep-seated passion to develop attractive products, services and strategies in the circular domain. I thrive on 'getting stuff done', and specialize in making complex concepts effortlessly comprehensible. I have worked across different continents and in different industries for global corporates in the food and energy industries like IKEA and EON, from the fuzzy forehand towards go-to-market. Besides this, I am a lecturer at INSEAD focusing on circular potential in companies.

How could you help TMI users ?

I am happy to help users with circular business models, and sustainable innovation.

Expertise in the following
What brought you to sustainability?

After spending all these years in commercial functions, I still love commerce, but I prefer to use my capabilities and experiences for a better world - it deserves and needs them.

Which sustainable actions are you in charge of or have you implemented in your organisation?

I have implemented sustainable actions in several areas, from strategy to innovation to go-to-market.

Which challenges did you meet and how did you overcome them?

Questions that frequently come up are: What's the business model? How do we convince buyers? How do we balance business and sustainable needs? How do we tackle these questions and challenges?

I think it is best to take small steps for big impact, co-create and validate, and conduct business experiments to move quickly.

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of leading a project for Ikea to introduce green electricity as a new product for their consumers.
