      • Biography &
        Qualifications

        As part of my doctoral studies at CES Surrey, I conducted research for IKEA UK & Ireland, exploring the potential of multinational corporations to support people in their aim to live more sustainable lifestyles. The so-called IKEA Live Lagom project has now been fully integrated in the company’s business strategy.

        I received a scholarship for his BA in International Management from the Cologne Business School, Germany and the Universidad Viña del Mar, Chile, and hold a Master’s degree in Sustainable Development from Forum for the Future and Middlesex University.
