Experienced energy industry professional currently working as a Senior Manager in Growth and Development for Europe and Africa at Wärtsilä Energy.

At the IEA, I specialized in the North American, Latin American, Northern and Eastern European, Australian and sub-Saharan African renewable electricity markets analysing trends and drivers that promote renewable capacity expansion on a country and regional level basis. This analysis provides clarity for global growth in renewable technologies including solar PV, wind and hydropower. In addition to renewable electricity development, I was a lead author on the IEA’s Global Solar PV Supply Chains report, providing supply chain market analysis of the crystalline silicon solar PV supply chain. Primary roles on the report included manufacturing cost modelling in each market segment and job-creation modelling per component.
