About

I lead innovation and sustainability for SE's Power Systems division, driving the strategy for next-generation grid solutions at the intersection of decarbonization, digitalization, and circularity. Over 15 years, I've built my career at the frontier of energy and climate: from engineering and project development to advisory, M&A integration, and now product and innovation leadership. I believe the energy transition will be won through better technology, smarter capital, and leaders who can operate across both. That's what I work on every day.
