I am passionate about driving #systemschange in the way we use natural resources, produce our food, travel and live. This is why I work together with governments, other financiers, local people, companies and environmental organizations to find the best solutions to tackle the climate crisis and staggering inequalities. Despite huge challenges and setbacks I am positive that this change is already happening. Groundbreaking innovations, inspiring colleagues and partners-in-crime, and dearest family keep me going.

My clients value my outstanding people skills and ability to forge long-lasting business relations that deliver results and motivate further performance. Proof of this are my many leadership positions and client satisfaction rising from increased sustainable returns.
