A Journey Beyond Sports
From Sustainable Projects to General Business
Refreshing my knowledge and broadening my horizons
It has always been important to me, that is why this past year, during a purposeful career break, I'm filling tool-box with new expertise.
I ventured into sustainability, engaging in projects focused on social impact and awareness. By using my skills in communication, campaigns, advocacy, and commercial strategy, I contributed to meaningful initiatives.
Also, I expanded my knowledge by completing courses, attending conferences, and connecting with experts in the field.
One-third of global food is wasted, contributing to significant CO₂ emissions, while 783 million people face hunger. The Lost Food Project (TLFP), aims to change this by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to charities supporting vulnerable communities. In Switzerland, where one in twelve people live below the poverty line, TLFP collects high-quality surplus food six days a week, reducing waste and environmental impact. Additionally, TLFP runs educational programs in schoold and corporated to raise awareness, inspire action and drive fundraising efforts.
TLFP mission is simple: We Rescue Food!
