Data-Driven Strategy & Global Project Management

Navigating Complexity in a Changing World

A PMP-certified strategist who brings a unique trifecta of skills — rigorous project management, data analytics, and strategy — to solve complex challenges for public, private, and philanthropic sector clients. I excel at translating global geopolitical trends into actionable, cross-sector strategy, from advising on climate-resilient health systems, developing economic equality and democracy partnerships, to creating impactful ESG initiatives.

My approach is grounded in leveraging data and collaborative insights to identify opportunities and mitigate risks. By combining this quantitative rigor with experience across six continents, I help organizations navigate uncertainty and build and deliver sustainable, equitable, and impactful projects and strategies.
