Fractional Chief Sustainability Officer | Governance & Transformation

About Me

Drawing on more than 20 years of international experience, I help executive teams use sustainability to strengthen strategy, governance, business performance, and long-term competitiveness. I have been a member of the C-suite of two global publicly listed companies, served as Interim Chief Executive of one of the world’s leading sustainability standards organizations and as Executive Director of a nonprofit organization, and contributed to governance through board service with a publicly listed company, nonprofit organizations, and startups. This combination of executive leadership, governance experience, and commercial and operational responsibility enables me to help organizations turn sustainability into a strategic business advantage.
