What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead sustainability, climate resilience, circular economy, waste management, and urban infrastructure initiatives where I can combine technical delivery, ESG reporting, digital tools, and multidisciplinary project management.

I currently manage international sustainability, environmental, waste management, and infrastructure projects with EU Tech Chamber/SIERA across Europe, Africa, and Asia. My work includes CSRD, EU Taxonomy, ESG reporting, circular economy strategies, landfill feasibility, and sustainability data platforms.

I have led multidisciplinary teams, coordinated technical proposals for World Bank, EBRD, ADB, KfW, GIZ, FAO, and other development-funded projects, and supported the Mauritania Environmental & Waste Management Project and Montenegro Mozura Landfill Feasibility Study. I also drive AI-enabled tender screening, impact matrices, environmental KPI reporting, and digital transformation for project delivery.

Across AIILSG, River Rejuvenation Projects, KPMG-IGH, PAS, Swachh Maharashtra Mission, and TCF, I have delivered solid waste DPRs, water and sanitation benchmarking, aquifer recharge support, AMRUT monitoring, municipal coordination, and Swachh Bharat implementation. I bring civil and environmental engineering and urban planning perspectives to climate resilience, resource efficiency, and sustainable urban transformation.
