I am the Managing Director at Isle, overseeing operations across Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Isle is a global advisory firm dedicated to accelerating the adoption of innovative technologies in the water and climate sectors through strategic, technical, and regulatory consulting.My journey began at university, where I pursued an MSc in Mechanical Engineering. During my studies, I led a student team in building a race car to compete against other global university teams. This experience ignited my passion for technological change. While many teams relied on tried-and-tested methods, we opted for unproven and novel materials and technologies, allowing us to learn more and adopt a more environmentally conscious approach.Innovation and change have been the cornerstones of my career. As an advisor to global water utilities, international finance institutions, corporate and start-up technology suppliers, and the FMCG and food and beverage industries, I navigate the regulatory, environmental, technical, and financial landscapes to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies.I am an active participant in global conferences and industry events, often chairing multi-stakeholder sessions that bring together technology developers, industry end-users, investors, and regulators. These deliberate collisions of diverse voices advance the conversation on technology adoption in the water and climate sectors.Leading diverse teams with empathy and support is a priority for me. Through coaching and career development, I have fostered successful teams in various business environments, understanding that people are the catalyst for executing business strategies effectively.With deep expertise in water, early-stage and corporate technologies, I have advised numerous organizations on innovation and go-to-market strategies in the water technology space.
