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

Program Design & Grant Strategy

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.
