Keynotes, panels, workshops and webinars for fast-growing companies navigating the AI-or-Die moment.
High energy, sharp frameworks, no fluff. Your audience leaves with tools they can use the next morning.
I'm Madalina Buzdugan, a director of sustainability turned Sustainability & AI Strategist, based in Amsterdam. Over the past 15 years I've worked in start-ups and scale-ups across EV, travel and global mobility, building sustainability functions from scratch and shipping them at scale. Today I help fast-growing companies turn sustainability and AI from buzzwords into real strategy, translating complex topics into practical, no-fluff direction for sustainability, growth and leadership teams.
I co-lead the Amsterdam chapter of Climate Mosaic and the Amsterdam chapter of Generalist World. I'm also writing The Tired Overachiever, a sarcastic self-help book on the 10 big topics keeping Millennials and Gen Z up at night (one chapter dives into sustainable AI).

I've spoken at Act Now Conference, Women in Tech Regatta (twice), and contributed to podcasts and webinars on sustainable AI (you can find a few in the Listen section below).
