    Vojtech Vosecky on Building a Career in the Circular Economy

    In this episode of the Climate Careers Podcast, powered by Voiz Academy, we sit down with Vojtech Vosecky — circular economist, LinkedIn Top Green Voice, and one of Europe’s most influential creators in the circularity space. Known for turning complex sustainability topics into clear, actionable insights, Vojtech has advised global brands like Google, BMW, and Pandora, and is on a mission to make circular thinking mainstream. We explore how he went from being unemployed and unsure of his path to becoming a leading voice in circular economy, building a global community, and helping organizations rethink waste as a resource. Vojtech shares what separates companies that talk about circularity from those that actually do it, the skills that matter most for circular economy careers, and how individuals can break into the field without a technical background. Whether you’re curious about circularity, looking to shift your career, or want to understand how businesses can design for a regenerative future, this conversation offers practical advice, real stories, and an inspiring look at what’s possible.
