What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities to lead impactful projects in sustainability and finance.

I am an experienced professional with over 10 years of expertise in sustainability, impact investing, and blended finance. My career has been dedicated to driving significant socio-economic and environmental change through strategic impact plans and innovative investment vehicles. As the former Head of Impact for an Asia-based impact investor, I conducted due diligence and oversaw various portfolio projects, ensuring alignment with impactful outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have advised multilateral organizations on blended finance and project finance, supporting them in designing effective investment strategies. My work with UNDP and other UN agencies in Geneva has focused on developing social impact programs that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in education, gender equality, and community development. I am passionate about creating practical impact measurement frameworks that help organizations assess and enhance their social impact initiatives.
