Mikolaj Sekutowicz
Managing Director, Impact One
Mikolaj Sekutowicz is a leader in impact investment across the wellbeing, environmental, and arts & culture sectors. Promoting a new concept of urbanism that reintegrates nature into the living environment, he co-founded Impact One in 2022 to develop practical and scalable solutions for urban environments, leading some of the largest urban-regeneration projects in the world.
He created Suntago Park in Poland (opened 2020), the largest indoor water and wellbeing destination in Europe and one of Central and Eastern Europe’s major tourism investments. Within the newly created Therme Group, he served from 2017 to 2024 as Vice President responsible for development and culture, advancing the concept of Wellbeing Infrastructure as a new asset class in urban ecology and the urban economy.
With more than 25 years of experience across arts, culture, and environmental innovation, Mikolaj has led major initiatives that bring together culture, science, and urban development. He founded the Wellbeing Culture Forum, launched the Possible Futures platform, and co-founded the One Health Research Centre, which advances applied research on how built environments influence human and environmental health. The One Health Research Centre has produced foundational studies such as Afforestation in Arid Climates and Biodiversity and Public Health, providing evidence for policies that link environmental restoration with social and economic resilience.
Through Impact One, Mikolaj drives global frameworks that position ecological performance and human wellbeing at the core of urban development. As a founding member of the World Economic Forum’s 2023 created Global Commission on Nature-Positive Cities and the Davos Baukultur Alliance helps cities adopt nature-based, culturally informed models of resilience.
Mikolaj is a board member of the Institute for Climate Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM), the green-fintech company AxessImpact, and the World Sport Summit. He is a frequent speaker and contributor at global convenings.
