I am committed to realizing the many climate and economic opportunities of renewable ocean energy - for now and for generations to come. I'm inspired by my 20 years of experience working on ocean policy, the blue economy, and offshore energy. My career in the middle of the growing green industry of floating offshore wind is always exciting - as I collaborate with government, private sector developers and supply chain providers, and essential stakeholders to help create opportunities for all and advance to a brighter future.
