Marina Lickel

I'm a sustainability strategist and program designer based in Amsterdam.

I work with organizations that need to move from sustainability ambition to measurable performance. My work spans the full program lifecycle:

 

Stakeholder mapping, impact framework design, Theory of Change development, financial modeling, partnership development, and grant strategy.

I build the structures that make programs operationally viable and strategically sound — from conception through implementation — across corporate environments, international institutions, and impact-driven organizations.

50+ programs coordinated across Brasil 

7+ international awards and nominations 

Open to opportunities in Europe and internationally

ESG Integration & Impact Frameworks 

Translating sustainability commitments into operational programs with clear KPIs, reporting structures, and performance systems — aligned with CRI, ESRS, and international framewroks.

Sustainability Program Development

Supporting organizations in structuring sustainability initiatives that integrate into core operations — identifying strategic opportunities, building governance frameworks, and designing for long-term organizational value.

The term “rhizome” comes from the Greek rhízōma (ῥίζωμα), meaning “a mass of roots.”


Popularized by Deleuze & Guattari, it describes non-hierarchical systems of growth — networks that spread laterally, adapt, and resist control.
