It was back in July 2024 when I came across some professionals who you just know are special at first sight.
It took me only two minutes on a WhatsApp call (yes, because our guest primarily uses WhatsApp calls) to say: Lylian Coelho, you must come to The Water MBA. Bring your passion and the knowledge you’ve accumulated around the globe, and let’s share it with our community.
How can I describe our guest? She is the Development Director at the AgroParisTech-Suez “Water for All” Chair. I could use hashtags for her experience like water, sanitation, women, United Nations, SDGs, …
We talked about her presence at UN summits, her perspective on the challenges facing the water industry, and how PPPs (Public-Private Partnerships) can add value to water and sanitation development.
And, of course, the big question:
With SDG 2030 just around the corner and some targets still far from being met, what comes next?
How will the landscape be shaped afterward? How can we prepare and anticipate the future?
Also, as part of SUEZ, the concept of “waste“ is evolving.
Today, there is a clear shift towards extracting value from waste, encouraging a circular economy—something that indirectly impacts and benefits the water sector.
Remember, waste is transitioning into a valuable resource.
We’ll dive deeper into this topic in the near future.
We truly appreciate Lylian’s presence, and I highly recommend following her journey on LinkedIn.
