What We Do
We are experts in creating sustainability strategies and communications plans for small and midsize B2B companies. We focus on the tech and professional services industries.
Olivia Falkenstein
Sustainability Business Strategist
My approach to sustainability is pragmatic and enthusiastic. I help leaders create, pursue, and communicate their sustainability strategies. As a certified sustainability consultant and a member of the IFRS Sustainability Alliance, I focus on the connection between purpose and profit. I believe in the power of business to transform society and that together we can create a better world. During my career at global tech and professional services corporations as well as smaller firms, I developed a knack for identifying business opportunities and challenges, and how companies can have a positive impact. When you lead a business with purpose and support other leaders to communicate their purpose, work becomes engaging and fun. If I’m not consulting leaders on their sustainability strategies, I enjoy my many other roles: mom, entrepreneur, friend, lifelong learner, and aspiring fitness enthusiast.
Angela Dunn
Communications Strategist
I am a communications strategist and consultant. I work with entrepreneurs, executives, and founders to communicate their vision and purpose by developing their stories, voices, and themes. At SAP, I led communications for the Customer Experience division, helping leaders to ensure the smooth transition of acquired companies. During this period I worked alongside a number of tech founders, an opportunity that gave me valuable insight into the founder mindset. With this impetus, I joined Celonis, at the time Germany’s most valuable unicorn, to manage executive communications for the Co-CEOs. For someone who’s not a digital native, I spend a lot of time following industry trends on social media. I’m from a big, tight-knit family and that informs everything I do.
The Founders Story
We met at an SAP leadership event when Olivia was managing marketing for SAP Romania and Angela was a roving reporter for SAP World, the company’s inhouse magazine. Angela was interviewing people for a story and Olivia had the spark and smile of someone you want to talk to. “Angela made me famous!” says Olivia.
Over the years, we kept in touch through a network of mutual friends. By the beginning of the pandemic, Olivia had resigned her agency management position to launch her career as a sustainability consultant and Angela had left the corporate world to explore entrepreneurship by interviewing female founders. After a long walk along the Neckar river near Heidelberg, Olivia said, “We should go into business together.” We spent most of 2022 combining our strengths to develop a business plan and create consulting packages that will have an impact on our customers’ organizations.
