My work *connects* ideas, institutions, and people as a strategy for addressing critical sustainability challenges, with a focus on the role of finance, policy, and business. I have lived and worked in Europe, Asia, and North America, with management responsibilities spanning research and development, strategy and business development, client and stakeholder management, and consulting. I am also a performing musician, open water swimmer, and prolific plant parent.I founded the field-building organization Future Nexus to facilitate exchange and alignment at the intersection of finance, policy, and business through multistakeholder initiatives, research and development, thought leadership, and partnerships. Central to this work is the just transition: we see the political economy of the green transition as a platform for driving a broader economic transformation that centers inclusion and sustainability. Through our initiatives and services, Future Nexus brings together the expertise of investors, private enterprise, academics, and policy agents to advance the discourse on sustainable systems, drive institutional innovation and reform, and solve technical problems. Our clients and partners include multilateral development banks, investment managers, government agencies, United Nations agencies, think tanks, academic institutions, and global and national advocacy organizations.
