What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead climate-innovation projects linking technology and community livelihood, scale emission-reduction initiatives, and build partnerships across government, research, and private sectors.

I am a senior consultant with more than 15 years' experience in forest management, carbon markets, and renewable energy across Southeast Asia, leading sustainable technology initiatives that deliver environmental benefits and support local communities. I have a proven track record designing and implementing emission-reduction projects under international certification frameworks (CDM, Verra, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo) and structuring climate finance models that align with voluntary and compliance markets.

I specialize in linking technology innovation to community livelihoods, gender-inclusive capacity building, and policy-relevant partnerships, having led projects that generated significant revenue growth, large-scale carbon asset pipelines, and successful biogas and waste-to-fuel initiatives. I manage cross-border collaborations with research institutions, private sector partners, and governments to ensure technical quality, measurable social impact, and scalable clean-energy solutions.
