Sustainability is stuck in staging. Everyone supports it, no one owns it. It lives in docs, not ops. Leaders want green glory, teams chase other targets. How do we stop the ESG theater and actually ship impact? Let’s talk ownership, power struggles—and what it takes to push it to prod.
After two decades in the workforce, I made a bold shift—into sustainability, right from the heart of one of Europe’s largest e-grocery players, Rohlik. I was lucky: the role gave me a front-row seat to real impact, and the chance to work with the company’s most influential decision-makers. But let’s be honest—embedding sustainability into a fast-moving business isn’t easy. Between shifting politics, conflicting priorities, and budget pressures, it’s a daily balancing act. My background in project and stakeholder management has been a game-changer—but the challenges are real, and they’re shared across the industry. I believe it’s time we start talking more openly about those struggles—and what it takes to overcome them.
With 20+ years of leadership experience across finance, shared services, and sustainability, I bridge the worlds of business performance and purpose. My work spans multinational corporations and fast-moving startups, where I've led ESG strategy, built high-performing teams, and implemented complex transformations — always with an eye on the future.
As Group ESG Manager at Rohlik Group, I lead CSRD reporting, sustainability innovation projects, and stakeholder engagement across Europe. I'm certified in Sustainable Financial Strategy from Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, and my passion lies in driving measurable, data-backed impact at scale.
Creative by nature (you’ll often find me painting or dancing when off duty), I bring curiosity, energy, and a strategic mindset to everything I do. My goal is to step into a Chief Impact Officer role — where ESG, innovation, and executive leadership intersect.
