What I'm looking for

I seek a role that combines my business expertise with a commitment to environmental sustainability and social impact.

I am a dynamic business professional with 9 years of experience in leadership, change implementation, and fundraising. I have a proven track record of executing 120 complex implementation projects for global asset managers, with contracts reaching up to $350,000. My recent MBA has equipped me with the skills to combine business acumen with a deep respect for nature and wildlife, driving positive action in climate change initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have successfully raised approximately $200 million for traditional funds and African SMEs, delivering significant social and environmental impact. My signature achievements include relocating to New York to establish client relationships and securing $1.2 million in investment for a Sub-Saharan Africa-focused impact fund. I thrive on collaboration and leadership, aiming to connect environmental issues with business strategies.
