Research Interests
Doroteya’s work is driven by the most pressing grand challenges related to climate emergency, depleting finite natural resources, protecting ecosystems, reducing poverty, and enhancing wellbeing, and more specifically, how industry is responding to these challenges to turn them into opportunities for regeneration of communities and nature.
Doroteya’s research is at the intersection of sustainable value innovation, new business models and circular economy. Her current projects involve re-modelling the future of fashion and luxury, and discovering regenerative design principles and business practices for transformational change.
