Bringing Innovation
to Market
I am an international expert in green technology and climate innovation. I empower new enterprises to accelerate the net-zero transition and drive sustainable transformation.
Passionate about green entrepreneurship, I believe that startups, early-stage ventures, and corporate innovators serve as catalysts for climate action and transformative progress. My mission is to equip entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers with the tools to build scalable, high-impact businesses that advance a global sustainable economy.
I have provided strategic guidance on over 100 investments spanning seed to growth stages across 30+ countries, helping entrepreneurs transform breakthrough ideas into viable businesses. My expertise encompasses market opportunity identification, financing structures, and commercialization strategies for green tech startups, as well as sustainability-driven initiatives in corporations, governments, and nonprofits.
I collaborate with innovation ecosystem builders—including policymakers, specialized networks, and tech hubs—to foster climate innovation. My work has contributed to the market adoption of AI-powered precision agriculture, real-time GHG monitoring, ocean-based desalination, and clean industrial energy solutions. I have also supported circular economy innovations, including wastewater treatment for agriculture, bio-based materials, and smart waste recycling technologies, accelerating the transition to sustainable, low-carbon industries worldwide.
Academically, I combine a strong analytical foundation with a pioneering spirit. I hold a B.A. in Economics from Columbia University (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and an M.Sc. in Finance and Advanced Forecasting from the University of London (London Business School), where I pioneered the application of Artificial Neural Networks in financial modeling (Master thesis with Distinction). I also earned an MBA from MIT (Management of Innovation) and an MPA from Harvard University (Public Policy).
