“I have admired oikos for a very long time since it combines two of my greatest passions: education and sustainability. What particularly impresses me about this student-driven organization is its commitment to empower young leaders in all corners of the world to enact positive change regarding topics of sustainability in economics and management. I am very happy to be a part of the team! Everyone is committed to excellence, dedicated and devoted to creating a better world for tomorrow.

Regarding the 30^th Anniversary events, it is very interesting to help put together what will surely be a memorable, exciting and fruitful experience for all involved. I certainly look forward to celebrating with all of the oikos community coming from near and far all that oikos has accomplished. I also look forward to thinking about how we all want to shape and influence oikos’ future in the coming decades.

I want to thank the entire team and can't wait to meet many of you in October!”
