The Sulitest Impact team

I'm a social entrepreneur in the field of sustainable development education, co-founder of SULITEST, which develops online tools to strengthen and massify sustainable development education. With a doctorate in economics, I am a professor affiliated to KEDGE Business School and a researcher affiliated to the University of Bordeaux. Deeply convinced of the need to transform systems and organizations through the prism of sustainability, I am active in several academic, professional and UN networks such as HESI (Higher Education Sustainability Initiative), SDSN (Sustainable Development Solutions Network), PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) of the Global Compact.

I'm 53 years old, and I'm very lucky to be the father of 2 beautiful children (Alice 11 and Antoine 7) and to have Audrey (elementary school teacher) as my wonderful companion. I worked for ten years in the aeronautical field (at the Aéro-Club de France and then in an airship company in the USA). Having realized that the world was going to the wall, and that my profession as a communicator and marketing director could contribute to this, I decided to enter higher education, thinking that better training future leaders could undoubtedly be useful... I set up the marketing department at Kedge Business School and then, after my MBA, I had the chance to create the CSR department, which I ran for 15 years. My job was to build and deploy the school's sustainable development strategy (research, pedagogy, environmental and social aspects of the campus as well as governance). As a board member of various NGOs, foundations and social enterprises, I have had the opportunity to initiate or contribute to a number of projects around responsible management, the social responsibility of higher education institutions and performance measurement. Since 2012, I have been Senior Advisor to the Higher Education Sustainable Initiative (the largest voluntary commitment at the Rio+20 summit - https://sdgs.un.org/HESI ). Then, along with a number of other people (including Aurélien, of course), I initiated the Sulitest movement. And in August 2021, I took the plunge, leaving Kedge to become a social entrepreneur, devoting 100% of my time to Sulitest.

I am a constructive, science inspired, dreamer who loves exploring modernized pathways of practice. Personally, my scientific interests include space travel, cognitive modelling, and neuroscience amongst many other topics. Geographically I originate from the a small town on the West coast of Sweden. However, South Eastern Pennsylvania is what I consider my historical and cultural home. Seeking higher education my journey leads back to Sweden, where I studied economics. My time was marked with great regard to the Erasmus+ program which lead to wonderful cultural experiences. Candidly: I love my work, I love science and as a practitioner I must thank the greater ML / open science community for enabiling scientific endeavour, and specifically the PyMC project for its dedications towards probabilistic programming in Python.

I have worked for 15 years in operational management, team management and educational coordination in 7 different countries and on 4 continents. I'm an explorer, who loves discovering the world but also cultures, mentalities, ecosystems, unknown lands and I'd like this whole to be in harmony (Yes, I'm a utopian😊). Today, as office manager at Sulitest, I'm helping to strengthen the company's administrative and financial structure, but also believing in an innovative, visionary project, taking part in the dream, and working on the content and tools that will empower education for sustainable development.

*I am a traveller, a “human puzzle”. I had the opportunity of live in many beautiful parts of this world and each make a piece of who I am. Nature is my happy place, and being a very curious person, I am fascinated about different cultures and ways of seeing the world.* *On a professional level, I am an international business and management graduate. I started my career on non-profit governance, and continued to work with companies that are making true impact. At Sulitest, I work on one side growing our community of users and enabling them to make the most of our services to accelerate sustainability education, and on the other side, growing and supporting the Sulitest team leading our human resources and culture activities.*

Hi there! I’m Mary and I'm currently a digital marketing apprentice at Sulitest. Prior to this, I worked as a Community Manager in the ERP sector, during which I got acquainted with Project Management, Finance and Business Operations. Once a Biology major with great interest in Plant and Animal Biodiversity, I have always had a deep love for the beauty that is nature. Growing up, I would often help my father at his organic fish and vegetable farm and this sparked a deep connection with nature which I cherish to this day. During the course of my studies and especially while studying Biology, I had overheard Sustainability mentioned in passing, but I always felt like an outsider peering into some mystical universe. By working for Sulitest, I am helping raising awareness and stimulating conversations around mainstreaming Sustainability. My aim is that students who are where I once was, can gain a deeper understanding of this crucial concept. In my spare time, you'll find me hanging out with horses, singing, or simply enjoying nature.

Trained as a sociologist, I worked for six years in higher education and research in Paris, Lyon and Toronto, before starting a freelance career, working with public and private players. In 2021, I defended a doctoral thesis on the alternative schooling choices of French parents, and have published several articles in peer-reviewed journals. Two and a half years ago, I moved to Briançon in the French Alps, where I was able to reconnect with my love of nature and more rural, human-scale spaces. It was during this period that the desire arose to reorientate my career path so that it would be more in line with my values and deep-rooted convictions. Having been passionate about ecology for several years, I found in Sulitest the perfect way to combine my skills in sociology and education with my interest in accelerating an ecological transition.

Always looking for new adventures, I am passionate about the world and its many different societies and stories. The current challenges we face drive my wish to make a positive impact. I graduated in international business, knowing I wanted to build impact through the power of business. I dedicated the start of my career on sustainability consulting, helping organizations change for the better. I now work for Sulitest, helping organizations raise sustainability awareness.

Historian by training, instructor by profession, and now education rebel by conviction, I am Earth-struck by the majesty of the biosphere and by our apparent indifference to its beauty and integrity. In this spirit, I work to mainstream sustainability literacy among my fellow Homo sapiens, in collaboration with my colleagues-in-arms at Sulitest. Having made my life in Paris, my many professional roles include: Director of Accreditation at AIAASC, VP of CANIE-Europe, Affiliate at the Gateway International Group, LLC, independent education consultant, Resident Director at Boston College Paris, Director of Assessment and Academic Director at U.S. study abroad providers, and instructor at Sciences Po, LanguesO, the University of New Haven, the American University of Paris, among other institutions. I am a regular speaker/ranter on assessment, eco-literacy, and program design in line with the UN SDGs. My research appears in Frontiers, Routledge, Stylus, and EAIE Forum publications. I earned a Doctorate from the Sorbonne, an MA from Georgetown University, and a BA from Miami University of Ohio. In my free time, I’m on my bike, at the piano, or gazing at the stars.

What gets me up in the morning is connecting across the silos to envisage and build something better. Inspired after working in community and agricultural development in Kenya, I founded and facilitate an NGO realising community-scale enterprise in rural Uganda. With my family, I run a small farm and glamping business introducing guests to a hopeful and enterprising Africa. My passion lies at the interface of how people engage with each other and with our planet. This has realised itself in my co-founding and leadership as the CEO of the EAUC - the Sustainability Leadership Alliance for Education, and now it is at the heart of my new internationally oriented roles with the UN, Caplor Horizons and Sulitest.

Over ten years ago, I left the Cerrado, the tropical savanna biome in Brazil that I call home, in search of new landscapes. My interest in understanding why our world functions as it does led me to earn social sciences degrees from Colgate University, Trinity College Dublin and EHESS Paris, where I researched the interrelations between society, environment and new technologies. Professionally, I have had experiences both in the non-proft world and in up-and-coming, innovative start ups. At Sulitest, I get to nurture my passion for sustainability while improving internal processes and helping develop solid content for our empowering educational tools.

For the past two years, I have worked for based-impact projects in NGOs and a Start-up, mostly in the environmental field. I have a Master degree in International Cooperation and Development. I’ve always been triggered by the different societies which make up the world and their interactions. Understanding that these social interactions depend on an environmental framework is absolutely necessary and leads us to rethink our way to interact. I now work for Sulitest, helping organizations to raise-awareness within their communities and spreading sustainability literacy worldwide. Also a nature lover, I spend my spare time outside, enjoying the beauty of the sea and the mountains.

As a double-degree student at HEC Paris and Mines Paris PSL, I try to change behaviors and mentalities regarding ecology, climate change and our dependence on fossil fuels. In addition to my studies in management and civil engineering, I am also doing a degree in philosophy at the University of Paris Nanterre. This diversified academic background allows me to address ecological issues through a multidisciplinary approach. I was president of the HEC green student association, Esp'R, and a member of the collective Pour un Réveil Ecologique, which allowed me in both cases to lobby higher education institutions for the integration of environmental and social issues in the curriculum. Joining Sulitest and working on TASK is in a way a continuation of this experience!
