As a seasoned entrepreneur, builder, and expert on environmental markets, I direct the growth and go-to-market strategy for Open Forest Protocol, a disruptive registry for nature-based carbon credits. My top goal is to raise awareness and utilization of OFP's technical innovations which solve accessibility, quality, and supply issues in the voluntary carbon market. OFP is the market's most scalable registry, full stop. I achieve this through internal leadership and strategy, and external education, communications, and relationship-building across influential organizations, coupled with continuous improvement in our capacity to efficiently serve the grassroots projects and partners that form the backbone of our user base.
