What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in sustainability and promotes systemic change.

As a dedicated sustainability expert, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that spans ESG research, climate coaching, and sustainable finance. Currently, I serve as the Head of ESG Research and Communications at Systems Change Alliance, where I lead initiatives that drive systemic change and promote sustainable practices. My previous role at BNP Paribas involved conducting ESG assessments for corporates globally, enabling the structuring of Sustainability-Linked and Green Loans.

My academic background includes a Master’s in Environmental Systems Engineering from FCT Nova University of Lisbon, where I focused on implementing sustainability evaluation systems. I have also contributed to various climate initiatives, including managing education programs for EIT Climate-KIC in Portugal. My passion for sustainability is complemented by my love for film, yoga, and the stock market, which fuels my curiosity and innovative spirit.
