I build partnerships and sustainable finance communications that turn complex research into action.
What I'm looking for
At Symactiv, I lead partnerships and translate biotech and agritech research into investor and community narratives across grant proposals, pitch decks, and digital platforms. I also prepare research papers, proposals, progress reports, and technical documentation.
Previously, I coordinated sustainable finance projects at BASE, a specialised partner of UNEP, working with global partners and high-level stakeholders on deliverables, reports, briefings, videos, and communications materials. My background spans proposal writing, international event coordination, policy, sustainability communications, and published work on nature finance, blended finance, renewable energy, decarbonisation, and climate-friendly technologies.
