meet ME

With 13 years of expertise in Sustainability Strategy and Public Affairs within the Food and Health sectors, I bring a deep understanding of integrating sustainable practices into business operations. I also enjoy guest lecturing on Sustainability Strategy, sharing my knowledge and passion with the next generation of leaders.

Currently residing in Amsterdam with my family, I like to dedicate my free time to teaching English at Sunflowers Speak, an organization that provides language instruction to Ukrainian refugees.

What do I do?

I leverage my expertise in sustainability and public affairs to guide organizations through the intricate landscape of cross-sector engagement and corporate sustainability requirements. My approach goes beyond regulatory compliance, emphasizing community relationships, effective communication, alignment with global sustainability frameworks, and fostering a culture of environmental and social responsibility. My goal is to enable clients to not only meet standards but also proactively engage stakeholders, communicate sustainability efforts, and amplify impact.

Services include:

  • Sustainability Strategy Development: Crafting comprehensive sustainability strategies aligned with values, goals, industry standards, and global frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • Policy Analysis and Advocacy: Monitoring and analyzing sustainability-related government policies, advocating for policies which support good sustainability practices.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitating engagement with diverse stakeholders to garner support for sustainable initiatives and ensure transparent communication.

  • Communication and Public Relations: Developing messaging and strategies to effectively convey sustainability efforts to the public, stakeholders, and media.

  • Government Relations: Cultivating relationships with officials to navigate regulatory landscapes and advocate for sustainable practices.

  • Helping navigate the political landscape, influence policy, and communicate an organization’s positions to stakeholders.

  • Developing and implementing strategies that enhance environmental responsibility, social impact, and long-term economic viability.

  • Facilitating collaboration, optimizing resources, and achieving mutual goals between organizations.
