Nature is my source of inspiration for designing the Circular Economy. In an organizational context this means finding balance, connecting with your environment and making conscious decisions.
Diane Zandee is an assistant professor at Nyenrode Business University. She is part of the Nyenrode Faculty Expertise Center Accounting, Auditing & Control.

Zandee focuses her research and education on the financial side of sustainability, with particular reference to the circular economy. In this, she looks specifically at the role of the financial sector, the role of the controller or accountant and the instruments that support this.

Her sustainable heart started beating faster at Eneco, where Zandee was allowed to build on the energy transition in financial and procurement functions. Subsequently she worked in various financial roles as CFO or senior management at social companies such as NS and Schiphol Airport, but also at start-ups and scale ups. In addition to this work, Zandee conducted a PhD program, which she completed in 2023. This program focused on the circular economy and its obstacles in the financial context.  

Her mission is to give the multiple value creation (Planet and People) a full place in the financial context and thereby build future-proof organizations.
