What I specialize in

I specialise in translating sustainability risks into financial decision-making, particularly for banks and asset managers. My expertise lies in developing actionable frameworks to quantify and monetise environmental impacts (especially biodiversity), aligning them with commercial strategy. This combines my background in financial advisory (Deloitte), pricing analytics (Flat), and sustainable finance leadership (Impact Institute).

Previous projects

Key Recent Projects:

  1. ABN AMRO Biodiversity Report: Worked on an alysis of the environmental impact of everyday commodities such as sneakers or smartphones to creat awareness as well as propose alternative methods of production as well as circular economy changes in current production of these goods.

  2. PBAF Finance & Nature Toolbox: Project manager of PBAF's new guidebook to guide financial institutions on measuring their relationship with biodiversity. Now used by UNEP FI and 20+ institutions to assess portfolio-level nature impacts.

  3. Academic Research Valuation: Designed the framework linking 120+ studies to SDG outcomes, demonstrating ROI of research funding.

  4. Fairtrade International: Performed in depth analysis of Fairtrade's banana farmers to analyse differences on social and environmental impacts between Fairtrade farmers and other farmers. The purpose is to understand the current improvements to efficiency as well as quality of life in order to grow these initiatives to include more farmers. 

How can I help you

My consulting and corporate experience lets me anticipate both advisor challenges (e.g., client buy-in) and internal barriers (e.g., data gaps) in sustainability implementation.

Peer Support: Share hands-on tools (e.g., Google Sheets/Tableau templates for data tracking/visualisation) and lessons from FI engagements

Collaboration: Contribute to working groups on nature-related financial risks or transition planning

Bridge-Building: Connect technical teams (scientists, data analysts) with financial stakeholders through clear communication
