Director @Endeva

Endeva enables inclusive system innovations. We support partners from all sectors to create systems that serve people and planet, and to transform their own role towards these future systems. We provide the expertise, network, and methodologies to go from discovery to design and co-creation. Achieving positive impact at scale for our partners and low-income people is our guiding star.Discover: Based on rigorous research, we provide insight on the inclusive and regenerative systems and business models of the future, and how we can get there. Technology plays a critical role here. Design: We help develop strategy, business models and systems initiatives in a co-creative and user-centered way. Co-create: We curate and facilitate effective multi-stakeholder collaboration for systems change. We also provide training and enable collaboration at workshops and events. We work in a holocratic, self-managed organization with a core team of full-time staff and a global network of experts. Our values – impact, partnership, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and joy – guide all our efforts in this endeavour. We have successfully implemented more than 150 projects on behalf of public, private and non-profit sector organizations. These include over 50 publications on inclusive business, sustainability and related topics and practitioner trainings, workshops, and events for over practitioners. We work with our clients as partners in our mission, and often collaborate over the long term to ensure impact. Some of our partners include large companies (e.g, Bayer, Eon, Merck, Sanofi), startups and social enterprises (e.g, HEri Madagascar, JUMEME), public development organizations (e.g. ADB, BMZ, IFC, SDC, UNDP, UN ESCAP, Worldbank), non-profit organizations (e.g, Save the Children, Welthungerhilfe), foundations (e.g, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Siemens Stiftung) and universities (e.g, Harvard Kennedy School, Hertie School of Governance).
