About

Director, THREON Energy Systems Ltd | Co-Founder, THREON I work at the intersection of energy transition, infrastructure systems, and institutional architecture, focusing on how complex infrastructure transformation is structured, governed, and executed at programme scale. At THREON, I lead the design of governance and capital architecture that enables large-scale energy and infrastructure programmes to move from strategic intent to coherent execution. My work centres on programme structuring, capital alignment, risk allocation, and sovereign interface — ensuring infrastructure transition remains economically coherent, institutionally credible, and operationally sustainable over time. My background spans regulatory environments, corporate governance, and strategic advisory roles across public institutions, multilateral frameworks, and private capital. This work focuses on aligning infrastructure delivery with ESG governance, structured finance, and long-term institutional accountability. Alongside THREON, I serve as Director of Obsidian Blu International, supporting discreet, high-value cross-border engagements where governance architecture, disciplined structuring, and institutional credibility determine transaction success.
