WORK HISTORY
Director of Partnerships and Business Development @Thrivegeo
I lead partnerships and business development at thriveGEO, focusing on building strategic collaborations, shaping stakeholder engagement, and helping organisations use geospatial data with confidence to make better decisions.A key focus of my role is the Open Geospatial Carbon Registry (OGCR), an €11M Horizon Europe initiative. OGCR is an open platform linking high-quality, transparent Earth Observation (EO) data with carbon markets and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems—supporting more credible climate and land-use outcomes across agriculture, food systems, and climate policy. The OGCR will connect on-the-ground farming practices with EU certification, public funding, and national climate reporting—helping bridge regenerative agriculture, policy, and climate markets.Across all areas, my focus is on bridging the gap between complex geospatial innovation and real-world use, so that the data actively informs action and builds trust.
