Summary
After some reflective downtime, I’m returning with fresh insights, deeper clarity, and a renewed focus on sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven leadership. I’m excited to reconnect, share new learnings, and engage with both old and new connections. With over 20 years of experience in the tech industry, I help companies see sustainability as an opportunity for business, product, and market innovation—aligning their goals to ESG and SDG targets. As an Advisor, I work with organizations to design ESG and sustainability strategies that create measurable impact and future-ready value. I am also a Consultant, Author, and Angel Investor & Startup Mentor. My cross-functional background spans product design, development, marketing, consulting, leadership, and business development—enabling me to bridge purpose and performance. I’ve led and managed global programs for cleantech, social, and environmental entrepreneurs across Asia-Pacific, North and South America, and Europe, working with startups, SMEs, and Fortune 500s alike. Whether guiding strategic alignment or mentoring the next generation of innovators, I’m driven by one question: how do we build a regenerative and resilient future—at scale, and with heart?
