At the forefront of circular economy innovation, my role as CFO at i-Foria Italia involves driving sustainable financial strategies for a cleantech startup dedicated to revolutionizing waste recycling. Our patented technology is set to enable the recycling of absorbent hygiene products into valuable secondary raw materials, contributing to a true circular economy. This commitment to sustainability echoes my tenure at Kiverdi, Inc., where I spearhead business development efforts, leveraging gas-fermentation technology to convert carbon dioxide into carbon-negative materials.My competencies lie in synthesizing financial acumen with a passion for sustainability, evident in my contributions to both i-Foria Italia and Kiverdi. By developing grant strategies, supporting fundraising, and forging strategic partnerships with global industry leaders, I have facilitated the scaling of disruptive technologies. These efforts are underpinned by a strong foundation in climate change mitigation and the promotion of circular economic principles, which I actively champion through strategic innovation and thought leadership in the field.
