ABOUT

I am committed to an intersectional, rapid, and just transition. My work is dedicated to supporting businesses in their catalytic role in this transformation.

I have over eight years of experience in corporate sustainability consulting. My work is rooted in EU Policy and global frameworks. My proven-experience as a third-party auditor, with in-depth knowledge of ISAE 3000, provides an additional lens to my work – ensuring robustness, reliability and quality control over the work I deliver. I bring structure and clear communication which have proven to help build trust and create seamless collaboration.

I have held roles across Italy, Germany, and the UK, advising businesses on sustainability strategy, reporting, and EU compliance. Past roles include Associate Director of ESG at FGS Global, Sustainability Lead Auditor at Bureau Veritas and Sustainability & Climate Change Consultant at EY.

I have supported multiple FTSE 100, Euro Stoxx 50 and Fortune 500 companies across diverse sectors with their Sustainability Reports, GHG inventory (incl. Scope 3), ESG Data & CSRD Prep, Climate Risks Assessment and Climate Transition Planning. I have specialized in sustainability advocacy and European government affairs for a Just Transition, with recent experience advising world-renowned catalysts in the climate finance space.

Beyond my independent work, I also serve as the Sustainability Education Lead at LFCA, a non-profit academy and community for practitioners. Reach out if you want to learn more.

Beyond working hours, you will often find me repurposing old furniture, hunting for vinyl records or discovering the serenity of wild German lakes.
