I am the Founder of Ontoly Carbon, a carbon registry and marketplace software for the buildings sector. Our platform empowers financial institutions and corporations to finance building decarbonization projects in exchange for certified carbon credits. Recently, Ontoly was a finalist in the Climate Safe Lending Network’s Climate Finance Catalyst Contest.I founded Ontoly Carbon with the vision of mobilizing finance to decarbonize buildings at scale. Given that 26% of energy-related emissions originate from buildings, I believe the buildings sector represents the most overlooked opportunity for substantial global emissions reductions.*With 10 years of experience in climate change policy and standards setting, I have drafted climate change legislation for two provincial governments in Canada and led the development of high-integrity voluntary carbon market program updates for Verra. My extensive technical experience in carbon markets includes leading Verra's successful application to the Integrity Council for Voluntary Carbon Markets.I hold an M.Sc. in Environmental Economics from the University of Alberta, specializing in climate change econometrics. I am passionate about advancing climate action and thrive in diverse, collaborative teams that share this vision.
