Lead, Regenerative Food & Agriculture Systems and Nature Based SolutionsClimate Champions Race to Zero campaign
I am an experienced professional with 20 years' full-time professional track record in international development, strategic philanthropy, corporate responsibility, and partnership-building for sustainable development and systems change in Latin America, USA, and Europe.
My current professional ambition is on large scale systems change for regeneration, and in finding ways in which we can effectively collaborate and scale systemic nature based solutions to climate change, primarily in Latin America, but drawing on international best practice too.
Currently I do this through collaboration with the COP26 High Level Champions and the Climate Ambition Alliance, as well as through advising on global strategy to Sistema B and the BCorp movement, with a substantive focus of low carbon resilient food systems as a major climate drawdown pathway.
My last career positions have been as Managing Director for Latin America at Porticus, the global international private foundation of the C&A holding; and as International Portfolio Manager for the Amazon Basin at Avina Foundation, where I developed a Pan-Amazon program addressing climate change by developing alternatives to deforestation. I started my career as an international development consultant with the Spanish International Development Agency (AECID), designing sustainable livelihood programs across Latin America.
