Circularity is more than a framework. It’s a human, regenerative way of being, shaping how we live, lead and belong.

Harald Friedl helps people and organisations build systems of meaning through connection.

From ego to eco
reconnecting leadership with collective possibility

from waste to value
designing systems that regenerate rather than extract

From isolation to ecosystem
building connections that create lasting impact

HARALD FRIEDL

Circular Economist

Harald Friedl is a global circular economist, speaker and advisor, activating transformation across leadership, brands and organisations, helping them move from sustainability intention to systemic action.

As the former CEO of Circle Economy, he co-initiated the Circularity Gap Report, bringing the idea of circularity to a global stage. Today, through keynote speaking, brand partnerships and his coaching programme Align & Break Open, Harald helps people and organisations reconnect profit with purpose and design ecosystems that regenerate rather than extract.

With 120,000+ followers as a LinkedIn Top Voice and a Top 10 Green Creator globally, his work reaches audiences across 30+ countries, bridging strategy, storytelling and human connection to accelerate the shift from ego-systems to eco-systems.

To listen to Harald is to be reminded of the vast possibility before us. It is to glimpse a future where circularity is not only legislated but lived, where value is rediscovered, ecosystems restored and winning reimagined.

Because, as he says: I care. We can.
