I was born and raised in Rome and have been living in the Netherlands since doing my Master’s in Economic and Consumer Psychology there.

I am enthusiastic about applying the knowledge I have acquired during my studies to help companies better understand the people they serve and to use influence tools to impact people’s behavior with the primary goal of doing their sound and the good of society. I am always curious to discover and learn something new, and I can empathize with people from all social and cultural backgrounds.

After graduating from business school and exploring roles in secretarial, personal assistance, office administration, and real estate sales, I found my place in the Life Support team of Innate Motion in 2014, and my calling in coordinating projects across the globe. The demands of my work keep me on my toes. From simplifying information into concise steps to connecting the dots, problem-solving, and making processes work more efficiently, I enjoy the varied challenges of this game of work.

Analytically-minded creative, a scientist by training, a photographer, and a cat whisperer. Driven by a curiosity for the intricacies of the world and the idiosyncrasies of people. I am passionate about working with a team of like-minded and visionary co-workers. I recognize the importance of conscious living and strive to bring positive change.

Internationally spirited through and through, professional highlights include researching mental healthcare structures in Nepal and launching a vegan café in Brussels. Close to Innate Motion’s values, I like to spend my summers at camps off-grid, empowering young people to develop skills and confidence. As an Anchor, I am guided by empathy and clear communication to create and nurture the optimal solution. Just like through a camera lens, I seek out new perspectives to obtain the best result.

Energetic, talkative, easy-going, ambivert, fair problem-solver, foodie, a digital native who likes to ride on the trend, passionate about beauty, and not afraid to try new things. I firmly believe in “if there’s a will, there’s a way.” These words keep me going whenever I meet roadblocks throughout my life. As a young Business Humanizer, I don’t push for uniformity. I welcome everyone’s uniqueness and recognize the strength of diversity and inclusion. If we join forces and work together in cohesion, we all thrive.

My background in communication sparked my interest in understanding the different perspectives that everyone has. Through Innate Motion, I can explore and understand the underlying reasons behind it by utilizing our tools and methodologies. I love seeing how this understanding helps businesses connect with their people and find their true purpose, which will help build a better society and world.

I am a big believer in sports and the benefit it gives. I see sport creates friendships between people who would not normally communicate. Having the experience of running more than 10 marathons, I learned so much about endurance training and how it can be applied in everyday life: don’t strive for perfection. Instead, challenge yourself to be better and minimize any obstacles that prevent you from getting there.

I read sports marketing and have worked with various global sports brands. Besides humanizing business with Innate Motion, I also act as a running coach, helping recreational athletes achieve their running goals.

My Bachelor’s in English and my Master’s in linguistics made me realize that understanding a culture comes through understanding the language. One can only get to know people when there is a shared language.   

I have a passion for reading and writing. I am bringing this as a teacher to Shanghainese kids in my spare time, opening up their minds for cultures beyond China.

Graphic designer, dancer, animal lover, and islander. I grew up in a family environment radiating with creativity. Given full creative freedom from an early age, I dove deep into the world of visual arts and photography. My youth was spent tinkering with cameras, exploring editing programs, and filming everyday life. With an appetite for visuals, I found passion in the telling of stories through images and videos.

I pursued a study in communications to get a better understanding of the decisions behind all the stories, advertising, and PR of brands and products. In the past five years, I have had the pleasure of deepening my curiosity within the brand communications universe through my experiences in project management, social media marketing, graphic design, and startup companies. Now, I am on a path to further expand the scope of my knowledge by exploring how the human perspective and empathy practice play a role in decisions and strategies at a global scale.

Creator, Daring, proactive, sometimes very stubborn, lover of animals and life. By the time that I was 22, I had already lived in 6 different countries; which for me was always very exciting. I had an easy time sucking in all that was new and adapting to my new surroundings and in a way, I believe this was a crash course to understanding and decoding people and cultures as well as practicing the power of empathy.

I have a father who inspired and exposed me to the world of business and a mother who taught me the tricks of life.  I have worked in a couple of different fields, graduating in law, later working with art, and now putting brainpower to help companies define their purpose and be better contributors to the world. My degrees and trajectories have helped me to join the practical, theoretical, and poetic visions of business.

Enlightened Crusader, business humaniser, photographer, jazz enthusiast, aspiring football pundit. I was born to an Indonesian family with Chinese roots. Being raised in a culturally mixed family allowed me to fall in love with travelling. Through my travels, I got a chance to adore the differences I spotted – be it the people, landscapes, or cultures. Until today, I seek to relish those wonderful moments with my own eyes, savour it in my heart, and capture them with an eye behind the lens. 

I am a marketer at heart and a strong believer of a brand. I love the idea of how a brand is able to stimulate certain perceptions in the minds of people. I believe in the power of brands to change the way people behave and make Earth a better place to live for everyone. Training my empathy muscles is my way to contribute positively towards a better change, which is done through talking to people and understanding them better every day.

Active dream chaser, lifelong nomad, self-certified experience junkie, amateur yogi, and an innovative rebel. I have always found it easy to fit naturally in different settings and connect with people seamlessly. This ability enables me to view and appreciate the world from different windows. It fuels the spirit of curiosity and restlessness in me which exposes me to different disciplines, cultures, and countries. Getting to connect deeply with people all around the world brings me so much joy. 

I am passionate about improving systems that stifle empowerment and the pursuit of better livelihoods for people in society. You can refer to me as an activist of the sustainable or regenerative movement. My work centers on working with businesses to be beacons of change in the industry and with individuals to elevate their thinking and empower them to drive the change the world so desperately needs to secure our collective future.

A Creator of dreams – I like to build my own and help people and teams make theirs happen. I’ve had a few lives – marketer for P&G, Benckiser, and Coca-Cola, running a few small businesses, and consultant for 20 years, learning to position global and local brands and helping teams work with purpose. I lived in France, Belgium, Thailand, and the UK worked in almost 30 countries across four continents and raised a (very) multicultural family. 

I am introvert-extrovert – I love to reflect on my own, but I am at my best when working with diverse teams, learning, discovering, and combining forces to build amazing solutions. I am as much at home in London, rural Thailand, or on a farm in the South of France: living outside the city keeps me rooted in the life of real people, well beyond the boardroom.

I am a mom of three very active boys who keep me on my toes and I enjoy doing anything that allows me to express my creativity! An empath by nature, I am fascinated by people and the psychology behind each person.

I strongly believe in the law of attraction – what you think about you bring about and my life’s mantra (In the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi), ”Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”  I started working for Innate Motion in 2019, doing the behind-the-scenes work of administrative-related tasks. I help wherever I am needed and thoroughly enjoy the whole philosophy that Innate Motion encompasses!

Having undergone a formal education to become an office organization and communication professional I started my career at a large German bank, so I could hone my skills in a highly diligent environment. 

Joining Innate Motion was a purposeful life decision for me. Working for a company that uses business as a force for good, beyond profit, feels gratifying. I choose to coordinate complex projects with many moving pieces that involve many different stakeholders. Every day I put my organizational and problem-solving skills at the service of those who want to help create a better future for us and our children.

I have always loved connecting with people and am fascinated by different cultures and languages. Growing up in South Africa taught me to have resilience and empathy. Today, these skills guide me forward personally and professionally. I am most passionate about building brands and businesses that positively impact people and communities around the world. This is what led me to join Innate Motion in 2019.

My expertise is in capturing trends for Gen Z markets, specifically in the beauty, tech, and FMCG industries. This led to my appointment in 2022 to the Youth Advisory Board of The Body Shop in London. A true millennial, when I am not at Innate Motion, you will find me at a pilates class, trying out a hot new restaurant, or monitoring the latest trends on social media.

I worked in various companies, from high tech to food, from global to local players in the development world. I am an entrepreneur who failed several times, always moving with a growth mindset and looking to share what I learned to benefit many.

A pedagogue, linguist, and potential Bake-Off standout (if they’d only notice!). My journey from a multicultural upbringing has been a fascinating exploration of languages and diverse cultures. This passion has been my guiding force leading me to travel and obtain my degrees in languages, linguistics, and translation. Now based in vibrant London, we are raising our son in a home where three languages and cultures happily coexist.

Fitting the Caregiver archetype, I draw energy from supporting others and find my greatest fulfillment in facilitating personal growth and ‘aha’ moments. At Innate Motion, I channel my flair for words and analytical mindset into research and strategy. My keen empathy and natural penchant for humor allow me to connect with people on a deeper level. Joining the team in 2019, I was captivated by the shared purpose of fostering meaningful growth, a belief I’ve carried into every project I’ve led since.

I am a curious world citizen, a tribe gatherer, a pragmatic planner, an avid gardener, and a genuinely Belgian consensus builder. Having grown up as an only child in a 4-generations only-child family, I became very interested at an early age in the complexity of group dynamics and fascinated by the magic of a strong collective. As a relentless traveler who has lived on three continents, I have experienced that more things bring humans together than what drives us apart.

Being a business humanizer at Innate Motion allows me to use my skills and energy to draw people together to achieve more incredible things. I firmly believe in using businesses as forces for good, but I also know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, so it is not enough for a business to want to do good where the most significant help is needed to make it happen. I firmly believe that developing win-win relationships between businesses and society will make this world a better place for her three children to grow up in.

A Cyborg, dancer-wanna-be, traveler, maybe sociologist, passionate about psychotherapy & time management, I enjoy being on the road, traveling through, or living in different places. One is to observe cultural differences, and the other is to realize that the so-called cultural differences are a misleading term – a more complex system beyond country, race, or ethnicity. And fast conclusions can shut you out from more profound connections.

Ever since I graduated with my masters in MSc Culture and Society, I’ve been working as a Business Humanizer, keen to apply human insights and methodologies I acquired to the real world, to the commercial world. Being an Enthusiast, I want to create a more tolerant and prosperous world where we embrace, rather than fear, difference, and diversity.

Changemaker, freedom fighter, author, friend, mom, food lover, and generous host. As a Business Humanizer and driver of BCorp, I coach people and teams to uncover shared purpose and unlock positive impact using the power of empathy, brands, and engagement, with the ambition to co-create an inclusive, regenerative future for all.
I believe in the power of writing, so one of my proudest achievements is writing and publishing the books Fierce Empathy (2022) and Beyond the Powergirl (2016). Fierce Empathy centers on the tenet that everyone has the potential to lead and contribute to the greater good in their unique way; so long as they lead from the heart, it can awaken people’s desire for change and empower them to act. And Beyond the Powergirl, which seeks to inspire a future with a better balance between female and male values.

Curious mind, open heart, polymath, creative problem solver, adventurer, snowboarder, surfer, musician, biohacker, hedonist, lover, son, brother, friend, student of life. Since coming of age, I see the world bringing exciting opportunities yet socially and environmentally unfair. This realization triggered a lifelong journey worldwide to understand better, discover new ideas, push new boundaries, and enjoy life. I believe in co-creating a world that is more generous and open to all beings.

Hence, my calling is to liberate as many people as possible from limiting narratives by sharing experiences and fresh perspectives. I joined Innate Motion in 2008 because I was attracted to humanizing business. This decision has taken me on an eclectic series of impact-driven projects involving research, brand & business transformation, and innovation for various industries across five continents.

Motivational Unifier, PhD psychologist, designer, and thought-leading cultural decoder. I am intrigued by human nature and cultural differences. I am always trying to make sense out of human behavior. Today, even more, because the world needs to make a shift towards a regenerative economy. 

I do believe that social scientists can help people welcome the change that is needed. In finding the trigger to make vital behavior easy and pleasurable. Not just great expertise, more a must, because we need the Change Now.

Rulebreaker, imaginator, natural-born leader, writer, a multilingual and passionate dancer who loves fun, food, and travel. I believe in business as a force for good and drive the B Corp community in Indonesia. I passionately work with companies and brands to create a positive impact. I’m known as a person who challenges the comfort zones, walks the road less traveled, and instigates people to think out of the box.

I bring eclectic competencies as an engineer, brand strategist, researcher, parent, lecturer, speaker, and world citizen to the work I do, next to the 20+ years of experience. I share the power of hard work, positive thinking, and gratefulness in my social interactions. Today I live in Bali with Daniel, my partner, and Casey, my daughter. With Renoir & Rambo, our dogs, we enjoy the luxury of watching the sunset, walking on the beach, and being close to nature. I help organizations and people who rescue stray animals.

I am a Creator, poet, writer, theatre aficionado, and nature lover who likes to walk amongst the green trails of Singapore. My love for creativity led me to a career in advertising in Mumbai, India. I enjoy how culture shapes our lives, and I moved into a role focused on culture-based brand planning. During my advertising career, I worked in Mumbai and Singapore on iconic brands from The Coca-Cola Company, Johnson & Johnson, and Unilever. Currently based in Singapore, and now exploring how human empathy can make companies and brands relevant and powerful.

I am troubled about the state of our planet and am deeply interested in projects that are based on regenerative thinking to add back to the planet. I am a firm believer in the B Corp movement, and I participate in leadership discussions on the role of regenerative businesses. My recent projects with leading brands have focussed on transformative humanizing journeys, brand positioning, and communication development. On weekends  I love photographing birds and natural landscapes and writing articles for The Punch magazine India.

I’m a welcome change practitioner and a natural-born silo shifter. I am passionate about sports like rugby or tennis and my family. I love to use business as a tool for creativity and community building. Hence I operate best as an entrepreneur, impact investor, and senior advisor, helping others build brands and use business as a force for good.

To better share my expertise in humanizing business, I’ve co-authored books like Creating value people to peopleActivists Dare to Care, and  Beyond the power girl. I co-founded Innate Motion, African Drive, The Regenerative Alliance, and Innate Active. Core to my leadership across all these businesses is the belief that business becomes infinitely more valuable for everyone when we create value together as people for people.

Raised in China, a global citizen, beauty and fashion enthusiast, and devoted mother to Leon and Quentin. Gained insight into China through global conversations. Advocates for integrating humanity into business and excels at making abstract strategies tangible. Swiftly turning purpose into action.

As a Crusader, humanity is critical to creating a better world.
It takes fierce empathy to listen to people without judgment. I believe in the power of projective techniques to stimulate conversations and discover the deeper why behind the answers. Understanding people’s behavior unlocks the triggers to vital behavior that improves the world.

Enduring pragmatist, thrilled by creating tangible results for others. After work, I challenge the elements on long bike rides. I studied architecture and social demographics.  In the army, I discovered my natural habit of curiosity, the joy of digging into several subjects. This brought me to the Library Academy. After graduation, I worked for 10 years in advertising, responsible for business intelligence. 

I joined Innate Motion’s Life Support team in mid-2010 on project and company support and extended my finance, legal, and ICT skills. With my innate modesty, I act as an underground detective, introducing clever solutions and facilitating the company’s growth.
