Gregory Iloka
@gregoryiloka
I lead international renewable-energy and sustainability projects from planning through grant reporting and delivery.
What I'm looking for
I've led coordination and execution of the €7M+ PV2H Burkina Faso solar-hydrogen project at Forschungszentrum Jülich, working across Europe and West Africa to support sustainable infrastructure and innovation.
I manage full project lifecycles, including grant budgets, funding proposals, KPI tracking, funder reporting, risk assessments, technical documentation, and stakeholder coordination between research institutions, industry partners, and public stakeholders.
Previously, I founded and led GGK Footprints Ltd., delivering climate-focused infrastructure and environmental consulting, Environmental Impact Assessments, and sustainability solutions for public and private-sector clients.
Across project coordination, corporate training, logistics, and university teaching roles, I've brought cross-functional teams together, strengthened communication, and delivered projects in multicultural environments.
