34: Against the Tide: Stefana Sopco on Sustainability, Inclusion, and Mental Health
Description
Jillian sits down with marketing leader Stefana Sopco to trace her improbable rise from jobless newcomer to a top voice in maritime decarbonization and diversity advocacy.
Stefana shares the pivotal networking moment that landed her first Dutch role, the tactics she uses to stay “un-layoffable” in an AI-filtered job market, and why sustainability, inclusion, and mental health all belong in the same conversation.
She breaks down decarbonization in plain language, reflects on resistance she’s faced around so-called “woke” topics, and offers practical guidance for anyone swimming against the tide.
Whether you’re determined to drive meaningful climate impact or carve out a career aligned with your values, Stefana’s story proves that one brave question—and one handshake (or prosecco) —can change everything.
