My motivation for joining Catalyst Now stems from its role as the world’s largest gathering for social innovation. I hope to contribute my expertise in project management, event organization, and stakeholder activation—honed through seven years at Future Food Institute across EU-funded initiatives, NEB collaborations, and global projects in Tokyo, San Francisco, and Tuscany—to amplify the movement’s impact on regenerative futures. From the community, I seek inspiring connections with innovators
