Board mandates
Board member, board chair and committee work for growth companies and foundations — governance, sustainability at board level, and the discipline that comes with 40 years of operating experience.
Geneva · Switzerland
Business with planet purpose.
3ABD is the independent advisory practice of Preben Munch — board work, growth advisory and renewable energy solutions for companies that intend to decarbonise and keep growing.
The practice
“After 25 years in industry management I chose to combine business activity with planet purpose. Four decades of experience lets me see the larger picture — and connect efficient solutions to what a client actually needs.”
Four ways we work together
Growth advisory
Hands-on advisory for early-stage and scaling companies: strategy, market entry, business plans, partnership networks and complex customer acquisition across Europe and beyond.
Renewable energy & net zero
Building the business case for clean energy: documented renewable electricity, guarantees of origin, carbon credits and biogas, structured into a credible emissions-reduction trajectory.
Brokerage Environmental Energy Contract
Sourcing and negotiating environmental energy products for industrial end users, drawing on experience from the past two decades of providing environmental energy products such as EACs, PPA, biofuels to large international off-takers.
