WAPONI MEANS BEAUTIFUL,
EVERYTHING IN BALANCE
ABOUT US
Waponi’s founder Karen Morris Lanz lived and worked with the rarely contacted Huaorani tribe in remote Ecuador.
Now as an HR change specialist she knows what it means to change and to integrate with the new.
In Waponi HR we understand how human instinct has been misshapen and how important it now is to use what we know as human beings and combine that appropriately with technology. This is one of the greatest challenges we face as human beings in the next 50 years. We believe that we need to build sustainable lives, sustainable work and support a sustainable planet.
