Corné de Louw

Corné de Louw is an experienced systems thinker and change facilitator who has worked in over twenty countries in the past fourteen years — from Chile to Mongolia and from Vietnam to Zimbabwe. Ethiopia became his second home, a country that taught him how opposites can coexist and how connection is the key to sustainable change.

With a background in the banking sector and a deep commitment to food and financial systems, he developed a unique perspective on system transitions. He has worked closely with farmers, banks, and governments on projects involving financial inclusion, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation. His strength lies in bridging seemingly opposing worlds — between people and systems, between local and global, between thought and action.
