Founder's story

"Dad, what are you doing at Nike to save the planet?"

- Lore Van Onsem

This question was raised to our founder Dirk, at the dinner table by his 14 year old daughter as she was writing a book "If Nature had a Voice", about her eco-anxiety.  He was VP Partner Management at Nike Inc. at the time and had to admit to his daughter he was not doing enough. After a long inner journey, he took a sabbatical and volunteered at Sinal Do Vale, a Biohub close to Rio De Janeiro, Brasil.  Inspired by this immersion under the leadership and guidance of Thais Corral, he founded Beyonders Collective in 2024.​
