About me
I'm an industrial engineer with 10+ years of experience driving impactful change. I specialize in circular economy initiatives, operational excellence, and innovation within diverse sectors.
My journey has led me to collaborate with global leaders like Nestlé and Google, while also supporting grassroots organizations and government agencies. I've helped a carpet tile manufacturer expand their circular economy program in Europe and worked with the Seychelles government to develop a business model for recycling industrial fishing nets.
Whether I'm facilitating workshops on systemic innovation, leading projects to reduce marine plastic pollution in Southeast Asia, or co-founding businesses like Earth.fm, I thrive on finding creative, sustainable solutions to complex challenges. My passion lies in building a better future by optimizing resources, fostering collaboration, and promoting responsible practices.
