Expert support

I am here to support your organization with specialized expertise to protect water resources, reduce plastic pollution, and create live-worthy environments. My service is guided by a solution-oriented and client-friendly approach to deliver relevant and tangible solutions.

I advise, plan, initiate, coordinate, organize, research, monitor, analyze, calculate, measure, develop, collaborate, and communicate, to apply ecologically sound and economically feasible solutions to your problems.

SEEO Environmental Consulting was founded in 2024 with the mission to fight plastic pollution and protect our waters by translating scientific expertise into concrete actions with high impact. The initial idea and passion to found an environmental office to tackle plastics and protect our environment using research outcomes emerged in 2019. Targeted professional specialization and business development lead to founding SEEO in 2024.

Cleo N. Stratmann MSc
Environmental Specialist

I am Cleo Stratmann, an environmental researcher and engineer with a passion for collaboration and systems thinking. My goal is to resolve plastic pollution and apply knowledge, data, research, and technology where it is relevant to build a healthy environment and a sustainable and nature-loving society.

Most of my free time is spend in nature surfing, running, playing volleyball, handcrafting, traveling, sometimes photographing, and even the ‘geeky’ hobby of bird observation has become one of my favorite actives.

I can’t imagine a world without plenty of healthy nature around. That’s what drives me. I’ve been born with a curious mind, openly talking to people, finding creative solutions (inside and outside the box), eager to explore and protect nature. Now, I do this professionally. You’re welcome to join me on this endeavor.

Professional background

With more than 8 years of professional experience in the fields of freshwater ecology, environmental plastic pollution, and interdisciplinary research, I continue my commitment to environmental conservation and resolving plastic pollution issues. My experiences at internationally renowned institutions involved interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research, providing me with the network and skills to deliver high-quality work. With a master’s degree in Environmental Science and Technology and many years of professional experience including a top doctoral research project at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech in France on the subject of freshwater microplastic pollution, I have in-depth knowledge in the field of technical environmental protection.

Career

– Masters degree in Environmental Science and Technology from Technische Universität Berlin

– Experiences in waste assessment services

Dr. Julie Hopper, Sustainability data analyst, University of Southern California, USA

“Cleo is an amazing teammate, always willing to go the extra mile to solve a problem and to get the job done (and a job well done at that!). Cleo and I worked together during the 2021 Scripps-Rady Ocean Plastic Pollution Challenge where she taught herself QGIS in a matter of weeks and created beautiful maps for our team to display plastic pollution hotspots in the San Diego Area. (…) If you want your team and projects to excel then I highly recommend hiring Cleo! ”
