About

I am a senior, cross-border executive with a track record of leading climate resilience, WASH, and sustainable economic growth programs across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. I’ve directed portfolios exceeding $100M, built multi-disciplinary teams, and forged partnerships among governments, private sector, foundations, universities, and donors to deliver measurable impact.

I excel at strategic vision, cross-functional execution, and pan-government collaboration. I’m adept at turning high-level ideas into scalable programs, driving governance and accountability, and communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders to advance sustainable development and resilience outcomes.
