Strategic thinker, proficient in ESG and Sustainability frameworks, standards and reporting requirements (e.g., SBTi, GHG Protocol, SASB, GRI, UNPRI, ISSB, TCFD, and SDGs). Outside of work, I am an avid skier, scuba diver, and all-around nature lover. I especially enjoy adventure travel and recently explored the ice caves of the Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland, dove along the coral reefs of French Polynesia, and abseiled Table Mountain in Capetown, South Africa. These experiences have shown me firsthand the effects that human-caused climate change is having on our natural world, from receding glaciers, bleached coral, and extreme droughts.As I explore opportunities to take my career to the next level, my goal is to marry my extensive financial services governance and risk management background with my love for science, nature, and social well-being by advising, building, and/or leading world-class Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs at financial institutions with courageous leaders who are ready to make the necessary changes and investments to secure a sustainable and climate-friendly future.Ask me how I can help you innovate, drive growth, and achieve business and operational objectives while prioritizing ESG goals and initiatives. I'm looking forward to connecting with you.
