My professional path

Head of Sustainable Industries Business Unit at Spinverse

I built and led a team of over 40 consultants working across various industries. In parallel, I had the opportunity to consult with numerous clients on developing business and investment plans, as well as R&D projects and ecosystems.

Director of Engineering at St1 Biofuels

The first three years were focused on business development and commercial activities, followed by responsibility for engineering, including R&D, process design, preparation & deliverry of investments, and operational support.

I am dedicated to supporting clients on their path to sustainability. With a background in energy, investments and the bioeconomy, I bring a unique perspective to developing strategies that make use of renewable resources. I work to understand each client’s specific challenges, gather insights, and find solutions that have a lasting impact.

As someone who values learning and taking on new challenges, I am committed to helping clients navigate complex energy issues with practical, effective approaches. Together, we’ll address these challenges directly, find workable solutions, and achieve goals that support both environmental sustainability and economic resilience.

Multiple roles in ExxonMobil

The first 16 years of my career were where I learned the most about business, rigorous practices and controls, as well as disciplined execution of large-scale projects. I started in logistics and then moved through various roles in IT projects, sales, and management positions.
