the PeoPle of PeRiod Reality

With over a decade of experience in the social sector, I started thinking about building something of my own in 2020, after I thought of what is now, Period Reality. What started as a fleeting thought is now a global charity with worldwide support! The many conversations strengthened my belief in knowing that we are bringing something unique and necessary to the world.

As the CEO of global charity (QS) World Merit, I managed strategic partnerships with, eg. the United Nations, impacting 450,000 people annually. Through this work and in building the foundation for Period Reality, I have established a vast network, based on often deep, personal relationships with people committed to supporting Period Reality’s work.

These relationships range from people representing companies like Google and PwC, but also institutions like the WHO and NASA and large social entrepreneurship networks like the Skoll Foundation and Opportunity Collaboration.

I am proud that I have spoken at some of the most prestigious global venues, including the British House of Parliament, the United Nations Headquarters and the Vatican.
