I am Lecturer and Head of the Chair for Corporate Sustainability at ESCP Europe Business School, Berlin, and Research Fellow at the Centre for Sustainability Management (CSM) and Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Most of my research deals with corporate sustainability, business models for sustainability, and values-based innovation. Since 2013, I am facilitating the research hub www.SustainableBusinessModel.org.
