ABOUT

I am a sustainability advisor and independent auditor for businesses, agencies and consultancies seeking flexible and specialized resources. Prior to joining the gig economy, I have spent seven years in sustainability consulting and research working at leading international advisories in Italy, the UK and Germany. Key roles included Associate Director of ESG and Government Affairs at FGS Global, ESG Lead Auditor at Bureau Veritas, and Climate Change & Sustainability Consultant at EY.

Over the years, I have supported several FTSE 100 and Euro Stoxx 50 companies across a wide range of sectors, helping them navigate complex transformations. I have advised corporates, governments and industry coalitions on sustainability strategy and report development, program execution, compliance and advocacy.

My experience spans diverse topics, including leading the development of various corporate sustainability strategies and reports, assessments of environmental and biodiversity loss, and due diligence related to modern slavery and occupational health and safety. I also led advisory efforts on strategic comms for key sector initiatives, including world-renowned catalysts in the climate finance space. I am a former member of the Institute for Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA).

My commitment to sustainability has been a guiding principles throughout my life, continually deepening each time I appreciate the beauty and richness of our planet. Work transcends mere obligation, and every project I take on is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Beyond my professional pursuits, you will often find me repurposing old furniture, hunting for vinyl records, or discovering the serenity of wild German lakes and the majesty of Alps and Dolomites.
