Research Interests
Embedded in all things Circular Economy. Developing strategic and commercial solutions for life-cycle extension, dematerialization and closed loop systems as part of business transformation toward sustainable business models. Transparency, traceability, cradle-to-cradle design, materials recovery, re-commerce and re-manufacture are the future value propositions of resilient business. I use my skills in the analysis of technological innovation and design to examine how such innovations can impact and change business eco-systems; exploring how new value chains can be built to support sustainability.
