Meet our guest host – Christopher Ritsch

In the early stages of his academic journey, he unearthed his passion for entrepreneurship. It was during his overseas semester that he had the chance to craft a startup concept over a single weekend at Techstars Weekend. His passion for sustainability and sports has consistently driven his pursuits, both in his post-graduation work with diverse sustainable startups and in his personal pursuits.

Today, he is on a mission with his platform “Limitless Impact” to bridge the worlds of impact-driven entrepreneurs and change-makers. Building on a promising synergy between an influencer’s expansive reach and an entrepreneur’s innovative thinking, he is on a mission to uncover how this combination can be a driving force for positive global change.

As an impact entrepreneur, Alexandra is convinced that business can become part of the solution to the multiple crises we experience. Besides the circular economy, she is also passionate about linking gender equity and climate action.

“Aligning work with impact is beautiful but exhausting at the same time. I had a hard time to establish healthy boundaries that allow me to rest and say – it’s enough.”

“Managing a start-up on my own without any background whatsoever. I am a complete autodidact, which can be challenging especially in the beginning, because you have to just trust in your idea and success.”
