Executive Impact & Ecosystem Leader | Chief of Staff | Scaling Agriculture, Climate and Innovation

About Me

I am a mission- and impact-led global leader recognised for advancing ethical trade, sustainability, and social impact, working at the intersection of agriculture, supply chains, climate transition, innovation, and mission-led capital, with more than 20 years’ international experience spanning law, strategy, and transformation. My work has been formally recognised through civic and honorary distinctions for contributions to ethical trade, sustainability, and social impact. My career has focused on helping organisations and founders translate ambitious ideas into scalable, responsible impact, particularly within global agricultural, innovation, and supply chain systems and rural communities. I have worked closely with principals, CEOs, and boards to shape strategy, steward partnerships, and support innovation across complex, global, multi-stakeholder environments, creating measurable change. I am especially interested in roles where I can help foundations, family offices, and impact funds identify, support, and scale solutions that deliver both measurable impact and long-term value — without losing sight of dignity, purpose, and shared value within communities globally. I bring a systems-level perspective, strong legal and governance instincts, and the ability to act as a trusted bridge between capital, innovators, and implementation partners. Current focus: Head of Impact | Programme Director | Chief of Staff to an impact platform, with a particular emphasis on agriculture, food systems, climate resilience, and ethical supply chains.
