Description

I am an engineer turned strategist with 7+ years of international work experience working at the interface of technical complexity, strategy and business development. I have supported large projects in the energy transition for F100 companies and high-tech scale-ups across the globe. I bring extensive experience in strategic planning, investment case preparation,

and partnership building across technology-intensive industries, being able to translate technical and commercial inputs into actionable strategies that build trust from the boardroom to the factory floor. I connect easily across all levels of an organisation, and colleagues know me as someone who asks the right questions, learns fast, and doesn't settle for good enough.
