I am…

… A professional working at the intersection of culture, sustainability, and social change – globally
Interdisciplinarity is essential in solving complex challenges, as no single field holds all the answers. With expertise in social change, sustainability, peacebuilding and culture, I foster cross-sector collaboration and help develop innovative solutions that are holistic, scalable, and truly transformative. In particular, I leverage cultural democracy and participation to empower disenfranchised communities, fostering trust, entrepreneurship, and a strong sense of belonging. Because when everyone has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from cultural life, we build more inclusive, resilient, and innovative societies.

 …A leader recognized for strategic acumen and entrepreneurial drive
My leadership has earned me appointments to foundation boards, invitations to industry platforms, and recognition as a changemaker. I bring a forward-thinking approach to strategy and have a proven track record of initiating and driving impactful projects and governance reforms.

 …A connector skilled at building cross-sector partnerships with a focus on venture philanthropy
With over 20 years of experience working alongside global foundations and development agencies, I specialize in combining financial and non-financial support, risk management, organizational development, and impact assessment. I have started and led foundations, programs, and initiatives worldwide, helping them innovate, grow, and replicate. My unique combination of analytical rigor, creativity, and entrepreneurial vision enables me to foster meaningful and sustainable collaborations.
