Daphne Fecheyr-Lippens | Daphne Fecheyr-Lippens is a true generalist who loves exploring and connecting new ideas, people and disciplines. Her heart jumps an extra beat when she sees unexpected opportunities to build bridges between seemingly unrelated things. Especially when that collaboration results in a positive impact. Feeling too constrained when trying to fit into a box, she found that biomimicry gives her a clear direction—and satisfaction—in life. Biomimicry brings her a hopeful, creative, and productive vision to create a world where humans fit in with the rest of nature and contribute to the creation of an environment where all of life is safeguarded. Nature is her stress release, and therefore she wants to give back the benefits it gives to her.
Working at Biomimicry 3.8 feels like home to Daphne. She is able to use her passions, skills and expertise in productive and meaningful ways. Daphne holds a Master of Science in biochemistry/biotechnology (University Ghent, Belgium) and a PhD. in biomimicry (University of Akron, USA). She co-founded three startups: Jaswig, Hedgemon, and Stashed, and all were a direct result from a personal need. As an innovation consultant at Board of Innovation, she designed and gave workshops and training courses for corporate clients, all over the world and from almost every sector (food, finance, automotive, healthcare).
