Meet the Leaders: Insider Stories with Impact Business Innovators: Jeremy Croes
Jeremy Croes, Sustainability Specialist & Growth Strategist facilitating faster adoption of sustainable and circular technologies and solutions.
"Trying to convince people to adopt circular principles and buy your circular solution? The best ideas aren't embraced instantly. The more systemic your solution is, the longer it will take. Inertia is a very powerful force and in general people don't like to take risks.” - Jeremy Croes, Co-Founder of SPINUP Growth for Good.
In this episode of Meet the Leaders with Patricia Kaziro, we explore how circular businesses can grow their positive impact and speed up the transition towards more sustainable, safe and inclusive economies.
Jeremy is a sustainability and circular economy specialist, business and full funnel growth strategist and digital marketer with more 20 years of experience, including being the Circular Economy lead for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, leading the inclusion of the airport into a community of research and practice to understand what circularity entails for an airport. He is on a personal mission to empower others to launch and grow their circular economy businesses.
Currently residing in his island home of Aruba, Jeremy brings a global perspective to how startups can activate their messages and connect authentically with more of their ideal audience, whilst utilizing LinkedIn as a growth funnel.
We delve into a classic business conundrum - what comes first - the chicken or the egg ie. product development or marketing?
This conversation also covers the common problems startup founders experience when starting to build circular businesses, what startup CEOs can learn from well established corporations and vice versa and Jeremy shares a detailed account of the approach to build your own funnel where you leverage the value proposition of your circular product and build based on feedback from your ideal customers.
This founder story centres on building - meaningful connections between inventor and the person experiencing a problem, experimentation with product-market fit and growth hacks to go from circular startup to building inclusive and sustainable communities.
Grab your notepad, you’ll definitely want to write down the high-value insights shared throughout this episode.

Meet the Leaders: Insider Stories with Impact Business Innovators: Sheree Rubinstein
Sheree Rubinstein, Founder of One Roof: a platform to elevate women entrepreneurs into business leaders.
Patricia interviews Sheree Rubinstein, a former corporate lawyer who moved on from a masked environment of pressure and perfectionism and turned to entrepreneurship by founding One Roof, a digital membership for women leaders and entrepreneurs. Sheree is affectionately known as the Queen of Community. She is highly experienced in building businesses, raising capital and mentoring women along their business journey. Sheree is also a mum, an AFR 100 women of influence, a Telstra Business Women's Award Finalist and the Victorian Women's Trust board member.
This podcast episode reveals that the One Roof community exists to overcome gender inequality and remove the barriers that exist so women can succeed in business and entrepreneurship. Sheree recounts how she successfully pivoted her entire business model during a pandemic. Even though returning capital felt like failure, she leveraged what happened in the market and turned a failure into a completely new opportunity. Sheree created a new business model almost from the ashes.
Sheree believes that the world needs more women to step out of their comfort zones and into positions of power, influence and leadership and will do whatever it takes to close the gender gap in business and entrepreneurship.
Sheree is a candid and authentic storyteller and this podcast episode gives a firsthand account of how to successfully build your business via your network and the many behind-the-scenes learnings from Sheree’s scaleup journey and role as an influential business leader in Australia.
