With recent natural calamities as proof of its ongoing rampage, climate change is unquestionably the greatest threat that our society is facing. By being both the victims and the instigators for irreversible damage, we as a species are in charge of paving the way to a reformed carbon-free future. Therefore, every day comes with a new set of branched choices, each having the potential of moving us closer or further from the global climate goals, and essentially from a liveable scenario. We, as individuals and as professionals, need to think about ways to use choice strategically and encourage a firm sense of responsibility over corporate decisions.
I have developed a strong interest in the global climate finance architecture and I will harness my boundless curiosity to explore the universe of regulatory change consulting further in my role at ACE. Joining this like-minded community of consultants gives me the energy and toolkit to be an active part in designing future-forward solutions.
The financial sector is a central cogwheel in strengthening sustainability as a business imperative and I am determined to pour my soul and skills into ensuring this is translated into reality. Leveraging my interdisciplinary background in Economics and Environmental Studies, I hope to contribute to long-term value creation for both our clients and the ecosystems around them, by detangling the opacity and complexity of Sustainable Finance regulations.
My leisure time is dedicated to activities that fulfill my aesthetic cravings: film, analog photography, Cineville, art exhibitions, sunsets and interior design. I also love being in nature, skiing and chasing incredible landscapes. Quite often you can find me in a thrift market as I adore stumbling upon forgotten treasures and give them a second loving home. I am a declared foodie and I never miss the opening of a new café, restaurant or food-themed festival – bakeries are my specialty and I hope one day to be the proud owner of one!
