Capgemini Invent supports other companies to become more sustainable ; Courtney Holm , Vice President for Sustainable Futures , tells us more

Healthy plants , pottery , and sustainable growth are some of Courtney Holm ’ s core interests . As the Vice President for Sustainable Futures at Capgemini Invent , her role can sometimes touch on all three .

Capgemini Invent is an arm of the Capgemini Group that focuses on digital innovation , consulting , and transformation . Holm ’ s role is to align sustainable development to client strategy and to help them embed cross-sector collaboration as a core competence .
Holm has lived in England for 13 years and is currently based in West Sussex , where she works from home a few days a week with quite a view . “ We wanted to be closer to the forest and the coast . It ’ s the right place for us at this point in our lives ,” she shares .
Holm has always been interested in sustainability and started her career back in the 1990s studying environmental science . “ I then moved on to literature , pottery , and sociology , because I wanted to understand and write about how human disconnection and distraction away from nature was the root cause of all of our environmental degradation and social issues .”
During her literature degree , Holm focused on Shakespeare , believing no one else understood the human condition like him . Sociology to study society and human interactions , and finally pottery as one of the first human expressions from Earth ’ s bounty .
