Simona Simulyte

Simona Simulyte is really tired of small talks and small talkers, as they solve nothing. The energy put into such talks should better be focused – to build, solve, and act. In the past 12 years, Simona has put her energy into advocating global impact and mentoring startups. She knows that no one can create an extensive impact alone, which is why she contributes her skills, knowledge, and network to impact startups to create the big change. Simona is convinced that impact investment, ESG factors, and sustainability in value chains used to be “nice to have”, but are nowadays “must haves” and finally bring social entrepreneurs and innovators to the spotlight.
