In my role as Managing Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, I lead our business organization focused on advising and supporting companies as they transition toward Net Zero.

In what way do you and the teams you lead further ENGIE Impact’s mission to accelerate sustainable transformation?

With our extensive experience in decarbonization consulting and sustainable finance, we’re focused on carbon neutrality, energy efficiency, and green energy. Me and my team continually partner with clients to help them achieve their sustainability goals utilizing various economic, contractual, and financial models — creating tailored solutions to drive sustainable transformation across diverse sectors and geographies.

What does success at ENGIE Impact look like?

We measure success by the effective implementation of sustainable transformation programs that lead to significant reduction in carbon emissions and energy consumption. Success also includes the creation of strategic roadmaps and carbon-neutral programs that help clients achieve their sustainability targets.

My background supporting a wide variety of clients in overcoming sustainable development challenges has helped me drive sustainable transformations. My finance specialization and experience has also helped me craft strategic roadmaps, design carbon-neutral programs, and manage sustainable initiatives across diverse sectors and countries.

What do you like to do when you’re not in the office?

I am passionate about mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, and ultra-trail running — including participating in several races (ranging from 90 km to 145 km) through the Alps.
