What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role where I can lead ESG certification, fundraising and strategic partnerships, work with cross-sector teams, and scale high-impact programs with strong transparency.

I am an ESG and fundraising professional with a master's in Social Responsibility and extensive nonprofit and corporate experience leading ESG certification, strategic alliances, and high-success grant programs. I have directed emergency fundraising campaigns, sustained multi-year ESG compliance, and led cross-sector partnerships to secure funding and drive transparency.

As a project manager and grants coordinator, I consistently delivered strong outcomes—over 80% success on grant proposals and maintained ESG certification for six consecutive years—while building donor relations, designing capital campaigns, and strengthening supply-chain and inclusive practices.
