Keynote
Circular economy & leading a startup through change.
A keynote about impact — how to build, scale and pivot a circular business in a world that keeps moving the goalposts. David shares lessons from founding Parently, a circular Product-as-a-Service platform, and from initiating Reconomy — a circular hub for physical products as a service.
It's about turning sustainability into a business model, navigating constant change as a founder, and why impact and growth aren't opposites — they're the same playbook.
