I build global partnerships that mobilize capital, open markets, and deliver results across climate, agriculture, food systems, and resilient supply chains. By connecting companies, foundations, donors, nonprofits, and governments, I design and scale solutions that reduce risk, unlock growth, and create value for people and planet.Across 25+ years in 40+ countries, I have led global strategy, business development, strategic partnerships, resource mobilization, and private sector engagement.
