The 'Yellow Pages' of CDR

I am an Editor, by profession and by nature. Climate and language are my thing. A reformed multi-hyphenate, I spend my days listening to interesting people doing extraordinary things. I have worked in events for just under a decade, mostly on tech portfolios as Head of Content and Editor. To sum it up, I ask questions for a living. And I curate the library.

Producer of podcasts in the CDR and climate tech space, including The Carbon Removal Show and Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey.

I am a seasoned energy industry professional with 15 years of experience, now pivoting to climate tech CDR. Combining legal expertise, international experience, and a passion for climate action, I offer a unique bridge between traditional energy and emerging CDR technologies. Value Proposition: Legal & Regulatory Expertise to Navigate evolving CDR policy landscapes Negotiation Skills to Facilitate complex agreements for CDR project development. Stakeholder Management to Liaise effectively with policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders Beyond the boardroom, I am an accomplished mountaineer and diver, having conquered peaks like Pumori (7,100m) in Nepal and explored underwater wonders from Cozumel to the Blue Hole. This adventurous spirit translates into a resilient, goal-oriented approach to professional challenges. Lets connect to explore how I can contribute to your organization's initiatives.

Chemical engineer by training, entrepreneur, and food & gymnastics enthusiast. I love to dance, bike, hike, eat, and live a big and purposeful life. I've always been drawn toward leadership roles and feel the most alive and passionate when I'm able to use my skills in service of others. I'm one of two founders of TerraFixing, a startup that cleans the atmosphere from humanity's legacy CO2 emissions; my life's mission is to reverse climate change. I have a gritty and outgoing personality and I'm here to keep growing and developing my skills to build a team of strong and passionate leaders.

In the words of Marcus Aurelius, ‘That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees.’ This principle guides my approach as a sustainability-focused professional, where I believe that planet-friendly practices benefit us all. I am currently the Operations and Sustainability Manager at Biocare Projects, a global pioneer in biochar production and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). At Biocare, we merge nature with advanced engineering to secure permanent carbon storage, mitigate climate change, and transform biomass waste into biochar, thereby delivering substantial environmental benefits. My professional path began with a Civil Engineering degree, which steered me towards a sustainability-focused career spanning over a decade. My initial projects involved assisting the construction industry in achieving LEED accreditation through the US Green Building Council. I then ventured into launching and managing a steel recycling and manufacturing business in Mexico, where I immersed myself in sustainable industrial practices. More recently, I completed an MBA at AGSM@UNSW Sydney, with a focus on responsible management practices. While there, I also served as the Director of Sustainability and Social Impact in the MBA Student Association, leading environmental initiatives and social responsibility projects, further honing my skills in strategic sustainability leadership. At Biocare, I work closely with a diverse team to design, engineer, and implement biochar projects worldwide. Let’s connect and discuss how we can collaborate to foster a more sustainable future!
