I don't just work in ESG and sustainability—I redefine how companies engage these topics. I take the complexities of ESG and sustainability, distill them into actionable insights, and help businesses unlock new opportunities through strategic thinking and impactful storytelling. My approach? I ask the hard questions, clarify the uncertain, and deliver solutions that drive growth and resilience.

My passion comes from the books I've read over the years. Growing up, I was fascinated to see how stories were constructed and would try to connect the dots before the ending. Businesses tell stories every day, and the risks and opportunities among the dots to keep their story going now fascinate me.

With over 20 years of experience in technology and disruption, I’ve become known for pioneering strategies that move companies forward. Whether it's translating ESG data into business value or helping senior stakeholders see around the corner, my goal is to position businesses for long-term success in a rapidly evolving landscape.

As an ESG advocate, I’m engaged in key conversations that matter:
· Spoke at the UN GCIC Climate Innovation Summit, was interviewed and quoted on podcasts, in articles, and at events, and was recognized as Who's Who in ESG 2023 by Onalytica.
· Serves on the LP Advisory Committee for Morgan Stanley’s Next Level Fund, providing input on the portfolio, including from the technology and ESG perspectives.
· Partners with Enzo Advisors as a Senior Advisor, helping small and mid-market cap companies understand ESG and sustainability to drive resilience.

Beyond work, I write the ESG Advocate newsletter and authored ESG Mindset, an award-winning book that empowers companies to navigate ESG and leverage it for sustainable growth. Upon release, the book was recognized as the #1 New Release for Sustainable Business Development and a Best Seller for Green Business.
