About

I have over a decade of experience in policy analysis and advocacy in the field of sustainable finance and climate change, currently as a Senior Specialist, at Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and as a member of the secretariat to the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy. I collaborate with global stakeholders and PRI's investor signatories to advance impactful transition planning policy frameworks, and previously championed asset owner climate finance strategies at WWF's European Policy Office. I am fluent in English, French, and Dutch, bringing a multilingual perspective to international policy discussions.
