She is at the helm of building sustainable cities, advancing cross-sector collaboration, and tapping into community to launch better solutions and technologies in her Director of Climate Investment and Partnerships For ClimateTech role at SecondMuse - an impact and innovation company that supports entrepreneurs and the ecosystems around them.

The platform provides food, fashion and beauty brands with the tools to understand, reduce and neutralise their carbon footprint, and get on a path to net zero emissions. The platform is inspired by Planet FWD’s own snack brand, Moonshot, which launched in 2020 as the first climate-friendly snack brand.

Sonja Oliveira believes that we are architecture. We are entwined with each other, our designed environments, other species, infrastructures, technology, systems and buildings and that climate crisis, resource depletion, social segregation and other societal and environmental challenges - are increasingly threatening conditions of this entwined existence.

For this reason, she set up the Radical Architecture Practice for Sustainability (RAPS) in 2018 through a desire to enable a wider discourse and debate on how sustainability is practised in architecture. Her recent work carried out for accelerating design innovation capability and capacity for socially responsible net-zero housing delivery was selected for the UK House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee’s report and presented as a keynote at the Westminster Social Forum.
