This week on the Future Design Podcast we chat with Leslie Maliepaard, CEO of The Planet Calls, on the pressing issue of Climate Change and more essentially, the Plastic Crisis. With new economical models of thinking such as the Circular Economy, can foundational pillars of these systems help us to re-think how we handle Climate Change?
Here are a few episode highlights:
Leslie has a background in building and leading tech, financial, and SaaS startups in Europe and Africa for the past 20 years. Her current passion projects include Circular Economy, Clean Water, and Sustainability. She has sat on a number of different advisory boards in the past, in Quantum Encryption, SaaS sectors as well as the World Business Angel Forum Global Women Leaders Committee.
She has also co-founded Fortrino, a consulting company that advises and invests in late-stage / growth companies in Cyber Security, Data Privacy, Social and Impact sectors (post-seed in Europe), and The Planet Calls Foundation. The latter aims to progress the ‘sustainable future’ movement and boost the resilience of companies. They work with companies and many other dimensions of sustainability, building a more sustainable future TOGETHER.
