Your partner for projects and collaborations that matter.

Are you a non-profit, international organization, or mission-led business ready to take your impact to the next level?

I help teams deliver high-impact initiatives through smart project coordination, inclusive partnerships, and clear, agile strategy. From sustainable food systems to health, wellbeing, and social innovation — I have you covered.

About me

I’m a social impact strategist and project manager with a passion for human-centred innovation, sustainability, and systems change. For over a decade, I’ve helped mission-driven organizations and public institutions design and deliver policy-relevant initiatives at the intersection of food systems, climate, wellbeing, and social innovation.

Throughout my career, I’ve been trusted to forge and nurture strategic partnerships across sectors and scales. I’ve consulted for the United Nations World Food Programme (recipient of the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize), and led stakeholder engagement at COP27 and COP28 for The Good Food Institute and later EIT Food, the world’s largest food innovation community. At these global climate policy fora, I helped bridge conversations between science, technology, and governance, supporting coalitions that advance innovation and sustainability policy. I also proudly collaborated with Sounds of the Ocean, amplifying their mission to protect marine life through immersive musical and meditative performances.

At COP30, I am coordinating high-level events for the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets, a government-led initiative to scale carbon markets and boost finance for ambitious climate action — supporting dialogue on the integrity and scaling of carbon market policy and finance mechanisms.

My work spans sustainable food systems, regenerative agriculture and financing, alternative proteins, and mental health. Recently, I coordinated a joint initiative between the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Bank to track global financing for food systems, under the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub. I also supported EIT Food in launching a microlearning app and facilitating a Regenerative Agriculture Market Innovation Workshop to build policy–innovation partnerships and consortia for Horizon Europe projects.

As a trained facilitator, I create spaces where diverse perspectives can align around shared goals. My approach combines emotional intelligence and inclusion with a strategic understanding of innovation ecosystems and policy processes, helping teams co-create strategies that are clear, actionable, and widely supported.

With experience across continents, cultures, and policy landscapes, I help organizations elevate their visibility, strengthen partnerships, and unlock funding opportunities — driving systems change that is both visionary and practical.

Based in Brussels, Belgium, I collaborate with organizations worldwide, both on a short and long-term basis.

I hold an MSc in Environment and Development from the London School of Economics and speak English, German, Italian, Spanish, and French.
