What an inspiring week at Cambridge Judge Business School as we celebrated the graduation of the latest cohort of the Senior Management Programme for Latin America. 🧑‍🎓 📜 

This group of 34 leaders from 12 countries brought curiosity, courage, and a deep commitment to creating impact across their organizations and communities. Watching them connect ideas with real-world challenges — and with each other — has been a privilege.

I’m grateful to play a small part in a programme that blends world-class teaching, thoughtful design, and a strong culture of reflection and growth. Every cohort reinforces the power of bringing diverse leaders together to learn, challenge assumptions, and support one another. 

A big thank you to Suzanne Weeks for her leadership and umatched commitment to excellence that makes a team of talented leadership consultants come together to provide meaningful individualized professional development opportunities to all participants. (Looking at you Katie Dardagan , Estefanía Yome, Miguel Ángel Sanz, PhD , Eva Fernández Jordana, and Delphine Bondu!) 

Congratulations to all the graduates — the work ahead is important, and you’re leaving Cambridge with the clarity and momentum to make it happen.  👏

So excited to share that National University of Natural Medicine has secured the purchase of the Woolworth Building in downtown Portland as the school's new site. 

Facilities are much more than walls and windows; they set the tone for the culture and learning that will take place for years to come. I am thrilled that the NUNM community will have a great new home to continue to advance the important mission of having natural medicine play a greater role in our society. 

There has never been a more exciting time to be a student at NUNM! 

Thinking of going into natural medicine? Reach out to NUNM!

👏 A new chapter for the Climate Tech Hub e.V.  — and a very personal one for me.

This week, during our full member assembly, we officially celebrated the transition of the board of the Climate Tech Hub Berlin.
Together with Margarete von Oppen, Frank Pawlitschek and Christoph Urbschat, we marked the handover — and I want to start by saying how grateful I am for their years of commitment, clarity and stewardship. The Hub would not be what it is today without them.

I’m honoured to now take on this responsibility together with
Nicole Hiltl, Sebastian Ulm, Marvin Göldner — and myself.

💡 For those who don’t know it yet:
The Climate Tech Hub Berlin has grown into one of Europe’s most relevant platforms connecting climate tech, urban infrastructure, energy systems, research, corporates, utilities, capital and public institutions.
Supported by the State of Berlin for years, it has become a place where climate innovation, city transformation and economic strategy intersect.

🔥 The context we’re operating in is clear:
Climate systems are under pressure — and so is the climate innovation ecosystem itself.
Headlines proclaiming “Climate Tech is dead” stand in stark contrast to what I see every day: a rapidly expanding, highly complex landscape of scale-ups, utilities, municipal actors, investors, corporates, researchers and international networks.

A strong European response means connecting these worlds —
technology + infrastructure, entrepreneurship + public institutions, capital + implementation.
That’s exactly why this platform matters, and why I’m deeply motivated to help shape its next chapter.

🎯 And in just a little over three months, all of this comes together again:
📅 Urban Innovation Forum
🗓 19 March 2026 | Berlin
Our largest edition yet — with more speakers, curated panels and international partners than ever before.

If you’d like to follow what’s next, I’d love for you to:
👉 follow the Climate Tech Hub Berlin here on LinkedIn
👉 and visit www.climate-tech-hub.com

More to come — and thank you to everyone who has shaped, supported and strengthened this platform!
