What our clients say
In her consulting capacity, Martina developed and executed highly effective sustainability and communication programs, which drove our organization forward in delivering on ambitious goals. Her strategic insights, customer foresight, and business acumen have contributed meaningfully to our market differentiation. She has also been an invaluable thought partner to me as we have developed our sustainability strategy.
Neil Salmon
I worked with Martina when I was an Associate Director , New product development at Ansell. Martina has been an invaluable consultant to the company, working collaboratively on several sustainability projects that have yielded significant positive impacts. Martina possesses a deep understanding of sustainability best practices and is adept at translating them into practical solutions for businesses. One of the most notable projects we collaborated on was the redesign of our packaging. Through her guidance, we were able to develop a more sustainable packaging solution that significantly reduced the product’s life cycle assessment (LCA) impact. This not only benefited the environment but also led to numerous streamlining opportunities within our operations, resulting in cost savings and increased efficiency. Beyond technical expertise, Martina stands out for her exceptional professionalism and leadership style. She consistently demonstrates excellent communication skills, ensuring clear understanding and collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.
Rim Abou Chahine
Working with Martina as the lead for the Sustainable Packaging Program at Ansell was an immensely fulfilling experience. Her expertise in sustainability as a project lead not only directed our team towards impactful solutions but also inspired each team member to strive for excellence. Martina’s leadership effortlessly brought out the best in all of us, cultivating an environment of collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. Her dedication, vision, and commitment to sustainability serve as a remarkable example of effective leadership. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have collaborated with such an exceptional leader and advocate for positive change, not only in environmental practices but also within any organization fortunate enough to have her onboard.

I had the good fortune of connecting with Martina in 2021, when she needed a copyeditor for a sustainability programme and a mutual connection in our network passed on my details. Lucky for me! Martina and I ended up working together for 2 years as client/contractor respectively and, as one of my first forays into the world of freelance, I really landed on my feet. To be brief, as a copyeditor should be, Martina simply “gets it”. She can walk into any organisation or situation and instantly knows what’s working, what isn’t, where you need to go and how to get there. She has a rare skill of always seeing the big picture but with a sharp eye for detail, a magic formula of strategic and tactical that is essential for anyone working in sustainability and which delivers the high-quality results you would expect. She’s also just a lovely colleague, someone who takes work seriously but also has a great sense of humour and an unwaveringly positive attitude. I sincerely hope to work with Martina again on future projects and I know she’ll carry on being a big success!
Laura Connochie
I have engaged Martina’s services several times. The first time was in helping our department define and write our Value Proposition. This started by taking a deep dive at the competition and going through a series of exercises to really refine this for the long term. The part where Martina set this up differently was in how she then developed a package to bring it to life for communicating to several audiences (internally, externally) and developed a short interactive training model.
Steve Genzer
Having Martina coaching me in my career took me to achieve much more than what I was expecting professionally. Of course I had dreams and wishes, but Martina made it possible to accomplish by structuring my behaviour, way of thinking, challenging me to think and react differently and perceive results in my actions. Besides, she did really helped me to take best decisions according to my values which brought satisfaction and sense of doing the right thing, not only for me but for the company I work.
