Meet the pirate

From a wheelchair to social entrepreneur

Andrew “Andy” Kirchner recycled his life after a massive physical storm: he taught himself to walk again and turned hard earned lessons into a purpose. Today he bridges global goals and community led action on Curaçao.

He is a Club17 Curaçao Facilitator, a twice certified Coach pa Futuro in Digitalization and Sustainability, a Supervisory Board Member of the SGR-Group and the Executive Producer of The State of the SDGs; Navigating Sustainability on Curaçao.

The talking stops, the showing begins.
