Angela Honegger

I lead the organization Student Impact, a consultancy based at the University of St. Gallen that supports socially and ecologically sustainable companies in business-related areas. Student Impact has so far leveraged the positive impact of over 100 clients. At the same time, working with the organization's members allows me to coach (and learn from) students about the importance of sustainability and purpose-finding.

In parallel, I am pursuing my Ph.D. on the topic of Frugal Innovation, aiming to find affordable, “good enough”, and sustainable products tailored to the needs of developing markets.

On a voluntary base, I lead the Global Shapers Zurich Hub and the Swiss Chapter of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Both initiatives bring together outstanding people from different walks of life, united in their common mission to improve the state of the world.
