What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in sustainability where I can leverage my skills to drive impactful change.

I hold a Master's degree in International Business with a specialization in Sustainability, complemented by a background in Geosciences. My academic journey has fueled my passion for GIS and remote sensing techniques, where I have gained experience in risk mapping and scenario analysis. I am dedicated to providing empirically supported solutions that help enterprises tackle their sustainability challenges effectively.

In my recent role as a Sustainability Consultant at KPMG, I developed expertise in corporate sustainability challenges, working on projects related to CSRD, Double Materiality, and climate risk. I successfully led the emissions calculation project for the Johan Cruijff Arena, delivering precise insights. My experience extends to various sustainability frameworks, including TCFD and GRI, and I have played a key role in creating innovative sustainability strategies tailored to clients' needs.
