What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values sustainability and fosters innovation, where I can leverage my expertise to drive impactful change.

I am a dedicated sustainability professional with a PhD in Environmental Sciences, grounded in the belief that we are custodians of the systems we inhabit. My career has been shaped by a commitment to aligning knowledge, responsibility, and action, particularly in the realms of applied research and public service. I view sustainability not merely as a trend, but as a discipline that requires a thoughtful approach to decision-making and a focus on long-term value.

In my current role as Sustainability BU Manager at IMQ eAmbiente, I lead a multidisciplinary team in managing ESG reports and life cycle assessments, while also overseeing ISO 14001 auditing processes. My experience has taught me the importance of fostering long-term client relationships and driving co-creation strategies for sustainable innovation. I thrive on facilitating dialogue and building trust among stakeholders to shape impactful outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed significant budgets and coordinated EU fundraising efforts, demonstrating my ability to navigate complex public-private ecosystems. I am passionate about using digital tools to enable insight and drive transformative initiatives, and I am committed to making climate data actionable for tangible change.
