Welcome, my name is Alexander Prinsen. I'm an (circular) innovation expert, podcast host and write about topics I care about. I operate on the innovation intersection of business models, sustainability, circular (eco)nomy and leadership.
I'm valued for my refreshing view on how (eco)logical thinking based on physics, biology and bio-chemistry will change business (eco)nomics for the better. Or more concrete, how to create a logical bookkeeping system which operates within the planetary boundaries. It requires some common sense, understanding natural science and the will to do better.
My interventions will inspire, empower and enable my clients to start doing for the better future we all seek. You will find it infectious and to the point, to get done what is needed.

Federico Fioretto – Sustainability, Leadership & Conflict Transformation
“Alexander geeft duidelijk de noodzaak van actie aan. Hij confronteert studenten met de grote risico’s in de toekomst als we niks doen, maar geeft ook aan hoe werk in de toekomst gaat veranderen. Met een grote aantal voorbeelden laat Alexander studenten zien wat ze nu al kunnen doen om aan de slag te gaan en met oplossingen te komen, waarbij de natuur het startpunt is. De gastcolleges van Alexander zijn een uitstekende aanvulling op het lesprogramma als bron van ideeën en extra inspiratie.”

Inspirerende voorbeelden van over de hele wereld tezamen met de bevlogenheid van Alexander geven je voldoende stof tot nadenken. En niet alleen dat, het geeft je ook voldoende aanleiding om vooral te DOEN!''
