Executive MD/CEO delivering environmental and development projects management and carbon strategy.
What I'm looking for
I’m the MD/CEO of D’SPATIA DYNAMICS LTD, with over 30 years of multi-disciplinary professional experience managing development projects end-to-end—from inception and proposal writing to surveys, technical reporting, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. I lead integrated work across energy transition, biodiversity, climate change, health, education, water resources, and accelerated urbanization.
For 28+ years, I’ve specialized in assessing and mainstreaming environmental and social impacts using tools such as ESIA, ESMF, RAP, Environmental Audit (AE), and Hazard and Risk Assessment (HRA), ensuring compliance with national, regional, and international standards. I also build decision-ready datasets with GIS, databases, and analysis tools (including Power BI/Excel), deliver carbon accounting, emissions calculation, decarbonization roadmaps, and net zero strategies, and strengthen projects through stakeholder participation, capacity building, and World Bank/AfDB-assisted implementation.
