I bring extensive experience in program leadership, governance, and risk management, including oversight of appeals, complaints, internal audits, Management Review, and advisory boards. I supervise and mentor diverse teams, manage global operations across 130+ sustainability programs, and collaborate closely with accreditation bodies to maintain alignment with ISO/IEC 17065, 17021, 17029, and program-specific protocols. Grounded in my academic and professional foundation in ecology, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity conservation, I believe in the power of science-based and data-driven solutions to influence policy, guide programs, and build organizational resilience.
