What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can blend strategy and analytics to build AI-driven decision tools for ESG, climate, and growth—working with distributed teams in remote, async environments, owning impact-focused metrics, and continuously improving dashboards and data models.

I’m a strategy and analytics professional with 6+ years of experience turning complex problems into structured, actionable insights across climate finance, infrastructure, and high-impact sectors. My work consistently enables measurable outcomes—$100M+ in capital flows and a 20% improvement in investment alignment—while keeping decisions faster, clearer, and better grounded in data.

In my current role as a Sustainability Expert (Strategy & Product Analytics) at M&P Group (Germany, remote), I own product strategy for an AI-driven ESG platform and translate business and regulatory requirements into data-driven workflows and decision tools. I built structured data models for ESG reporting, led double materiality assessments by converting qualitative risks into quantifiable metrics, and evaluated investment portfolios against the EU Taxonomy to improve alignment with sustainability and financial performance goals.

Previously, as a Climate Officer at Small Industries Development Bank of India, I directed evaluation of international climate finance projects and drove data-led interventions achieving 15% emissions reduction, while also increasing ESG-aligned capital allocation by 20%. I’ve also led program and growth analytics—managing KPIs, improving reporting efficiency by 25%, and designing tracking frameworks that increased engagement by 40%—and I’m currently building advanced capabilities in analytics, dashboarding, and AI-driven systems to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
