My unique background began in pharmacy, where I developed analytical precision and attention to detail. This foundation proved invaluable as I transitioned into sustainability management, working with organisations to integrate environmental and social considerations into their business strategies.

The evolution toward investment advisory and legal counsel was driven by my passion for renewable energy and sustainable mining practices. I recognised that the energy transition required not just technical knowledge, but also sophisticated financial structuring and regulatory expertise.

DIVERSIFICATIOn
As a senior sustainability leader, I embrace learning beyond boundaries, essential to my services like Sustainable Finance, Energy Transition, Sustainability Reporting, Net Zero plans, Scenario Analysis, and Carbon credit financing. Diversifying perspectives reveal the interconnected nature of topics, guiding my vision for a global strategic role. I merge diverse elements to align financial strategies with sustainability goals for a resilient and greener future.
​
For instance, I crafted and spearheaded the internal sustainability strategy for a charity which comprises Environmental, Social and Governance aspects. With this, we are on track to the carbon neutrality goals by 2030.
foresight
Learning from COVID-19 uncertainty, I acknowledge life's unpredictability—markets can plunge, and unemployment rates may rise unexpectedly. To navigate, I prioritise preparation for all scenarios. While some situations are beyond anticipation, my approach focuses on my locus of control, ensuring efficient adaptation. This principle guides my project management, where a well-thought-out plan ensures smooth execution, even amid unforeseen challenges.
​
For instance, as an ex-Business Development Manager for a consulting organisation, I was able to still actively source for clients who had needs that the organisation had capabilities for. I leverage online tools and my storytelling expertise to increase client acquisition numbers.
PASSION
​​In life's marathon, expertise opens doors to success, but true fulfillment is born from passion. Sustainability, to me, is more than a job—it's a profound passion that drives me daily. It propels me forward, inspiring me to challenge the status quo and enhance tasks with continuous improvement. Sustainability isn't just about meeting expectations; it's about exceeding them. Personally, my innate curiosity extends this passion across diverse sectors, making me deeply passionate about life's interconnected journey.
​
My passion can be seen in my achievement of various awards such as being selected for UNITE 2030 leadership programme and the United Nations Sustainable Lifestyles and Education Programme. In addition, I have won competitions such as WWF-We Got This and my campaign has now evolved into Chthonia Consulting to help start-up scale.
