Sustainability analytics leader driving data-driven decarbonization and operational improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a sustainability and analytics professional with experience driving enterprise energy, emissions, and operational performance across large portfolios and global sites. I translate utility and compliance data into executive-ready insights that inform capital allocation and risk tradeoffs.
I have led forecasting and KPI design efforts that prioritized multimillion-dollar investments and delivered high model accuracy, and built portfolio-level models that reduced utility costs and emissions. My background includes renewable energy reporting, supplier decarbonization analysis, and establishing sustainability Centers of Excellence.
I bring expertise in performance monitoring, data governance, and cross-functional execution, and I focus on delivering audit-ready reporting and measurable emissions reductions through practical, scalable solutions.
