Y'ael Vorster
Director & Sustainable Business Design Strategy Consultant
I am a designer, storyteller, geoscientist and strategy consultant facilitating systems change to regenerate nature and culture.
Over the last 10 years, I have come to know the power of stories.
I have worked with start-ups, scale-ups and multinational corporates to move proverbial mountains with stories, from a small firm implementing agile to a globally systemic bank seeking to show 200k+ employees the power of advanced analytics in meeting climate targets and transitioning millions of customers to net-zero.
Storytelling shifts perceptions and behaviours, bringing about radical, positive change at the systems level.
