Climate | ESG | Sustainability SME | Career Mentor
With a background in operations management and strategy consulting, I specialize in ESG function, creating long term value for my clients so they can play a transformative role in addressing sustainability issues at the organization and industry level with special focus on net-zero transitions. My core ideation of systemic solutioning lies in mapping interdependence of multiple industries (energy, utilities, mobility, smart infrastructure, etc.) and relating their circular macro-economic implications.
As a certified GHG accountant, my current role involves ideating carbon management and transition energy products with precise consideration of the unique needs of hard-to-abate industries, to facilitate the necessary changes towards a more sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
I am also working as a technical advisor in the technical committee at the ESG exchange (a non-profit think tank), helping design sustainable, replicable and easy-to-follow playbooks in areas of tax and regulatory compliance, data management, reporting, materiality and biodiversity.
As part of the Business School for Climate leadership forum, I have recently been nominated to be the alumni champion for Oxford Said business school in the network of 8 leading business schools in Europe. I am using this platform to influence business education and corporate engagement with these schools to have a higher focus in climate consciousness for current students and the alumni community.
In my spare time, I also love guiding aspiring MBA/MS candidates on their application strategy and early/mid career professionals in their growth trajectory, pivoting strategy, resume building and LinkedIn community and profile building.
