I am an experienced non-profit executive, with a proven track record of leading multi-cultural teams, and with broad expertise on climate and a passion for the ocean.
Leading Environmental Defense Fund International in its mission to deliver impact where it matters most: Curbing super-pollutants and carbon emissions from the fastest growing economies.
Bringing sustainability to our homes and buildings with pragmatic guidance on how to make Europe's building stock climate neutral.
The Environmental Defense Fund’s mission is to stabilize the climate and protect nature via an ecological transition that puts people first. I was proud to lead and coordinate teams across 4 continents - US, Europe, India, China - as they used science and data to help leaders make smart, future-proof decisions.
The European Climate Foundation played an influential role in supporting and securing the EU Green Deal, with the goal of making Europe a competitive and climate-neutral continent. I was proud to lead a brilliant team of policy experts who helped future-proof sectors including Buildings, Mobility, Industry, Land Use and Energy Systems.
I led a network of talented advocates for a clean, fast and electrified world of mobility. Weaning Europe's economy off outdated petroleum will safeguard industrial competitiveness, will bolster energy security, will stabilize the climate and will protect people's health.
