Azvai is a name inspired by non-dualistic thinking, chosen to integrate my way of thinking and being, my past experiences and my aspirations.
My name is Borja, and I am a Freelance Consultant based in Galicia (Spain). From here, I help organisations implementing sustainable operations around the world.
Over the last decade I have worked in Operational Excellence at the Kaizen Institute, I have led my own entrepreneurial initiatives at FlipSimply, East Bali Poverty Project, and Earth.fm, and I supported the operational development and scaling of Circular Economy projects with Interface, Project Stop and Bureo.
