About

I am an entrepreneurial and creative strategist with deep expertise in Real Assets (Maritime/Transportation Finance), Infrastructure, Sustainability & CleanTech, and playing an instrumental role in the global maritime industry’s showcasing of the financial and risk management benefits of embracing Energy Efficiency and Alternative Fuels to key stakeholders. I bring a demonstrated ability to connect dots in one sector while drawing from solutions in an often uncorrelated sector, able to uniquely employ a combined technical and financial approach in solving new challenges and market analysis.
