Lead IATA's strategic direction and advocacy efforts to advance the commercial sector energy transition with a primary focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This entails representing over 290 commercial airlines, on technical, commercial, sustainability and policy positions. Developed the economic cost of abatement modelling to assess industry net carbon zero by 2050. I lead IATA's SAF policy in ICAO - particularly relating to the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). In addition to ICAO interaction, I provide policy support at national, regional (e.g. EU) and international (UN) level to create the necessary framework for the commercialization of sustainable aviation fuels. This involves regularly engaging with governments to discuss policy that can effectively introduce and commercialise SAF and be designed in a way that works for the aviation industry.
