Hi, I’m Michael.

After years as an engineer and corporate manager, I founded my own consulting firm focused on sustainability solutions. Since retiring, I’ve been tackling puzzles that align seemingly conflicting interests and discovering win-win strategies with my clients. I also support a foundation dedicated to ocean ecology as a catalyst for progress. My wife Karin and my son Alex were the first to suggest a podcast for me. As a natural optimist and father of two wonderful kids, I tend to resist gloomy predictions about our future. We probably live in the best world we ever had, with the promise of making a meaningful life accessible for a growing part of the world population, but it is imperative to keep this spirit alive. Therefore, I’ve created an antidote to scepticism: ‘Michael’s Green World.’
