Leveraging experience in international operations and product design to scale new business ventures in the emerging industrial hemp market. Currently, I am in the process of commercializing a bio epoxy platform resin made from industrial hemp seed together with my partners at ZILA Works. I apply a systems-thinking lens in my approach to business development and operations in order to integrate private-sector ventures with sustainability initiatives. I believe that bottom-line integration of carbon metrics will be one of the keys to unlocking the next generation of prosperity.Outside of work I am an avid mountain-sport athlete, with the majority of my focus on XC and competition paragliding.
