Martina is the Founder and CEO of Meaning.Global, an expert strategy consultancy helping leaders envision new possibilities for future innovation, value creation and growth as we move toward a new sustainable economy where aligning with our humanity is a must.

She sees business as the most potent creative force for change in the world. Her vision is to use the immense social power of business and brands as a catalyst for global social, cultural, economic and environmental growth which can lead us into a more meaningful, sustainable and humanistic future. Her core effort is to realign business with humanity so we can start seeing business as an expression of our own humanity, not as a system where it is an afterthought.
