#Mindworks

Story: A communication strategist with an infectious optimistic energy, which drives his surroundings to be more positive in finding ways to solve problems that matter. He grew as an activist as he embarked on a 10-year-long journey with Greenpeace, where he travelled to various countries to plan and execute campaigns. Instead of getting bored with it, he seeks to innovate and do things differently, that’s why he joined Mindworks. Beyond Mindworks, Robin is a creative genius that creates and produces music as one of the mediums to express his fascination with cultures.  He has an aspiration to speak more languages as it unlocks the ability to connect with people from diverse cultures. For him, career growth is not always about benefits and leading teams, but more about fulfilment in being exposed to evolving challenges to be part of the change when the world desperately needs it. Robin believes that driving change is not only through his communication and engagement skills in crafting campaigns, but also through creating art and music to voice out important messages to society.

Story: An innovator, visionary, strategist and futurist, Stefan is the advocate for the avant-garde in the team.  A biological sciences graduate by qualification and years of successful campaign leadership across Europe, India and East Asia, made him realise the necessity and urgency of understanding and applying cognitive and social science in creating long-lasting impact. Like many other garage projects he is known for,  which have taken their own wings, since the early days of his career, Mindworks was one such radical idea that emerged in his curious and brilliant mind. Under his leadership, there is not a moment of complacency as he is constantly breaking the mould and thinking months and years ahead into the future. Calm and empathetic by nature he not only sticks to his principles of fairness and equality within the team but also strives for ensuring equal opportunities and equal access to resources while working with the external world. He is passionate about finding new and effective ways to address the challenges of climate, justice and social fragmentation through innovative ideas backed by diligent research. All you need is a simple half an hour of random conversation with him, on a range of topics from politics to sports, to blow your mind.

The first of her name and mother of aquatic turtles, Sophia helps run the headquarters of Mindworks effectively from Taipei. A hard worker with old-school values, she has pivoted her career a couple of times, working in start-ups, as a social worker and as an educator. She spent several years working with marginalised communities in the US as a therapist and brings a sense of humility to everything she does. Every day she aspires to be her authentic self, work with bright motivated people and unlearn more of her perfectionist tendencies. Although part-time, she’s excited to walk into work every day, because she believes we walk the talk and make her think outside the box. If she’s ever in your city, you will see her walking alone without the help of a phone for hours and hours and chomping down on salads.
