WORK HISTORY
Co-founder & CSO @Trustbl
US
Trustbl — the rebranded evolution of ImpactEdge, Inc. — is the Sustainability Performance Management Platform covering the complete lifecycle: Assess → Plan → Execute → Perform. Recognized by McKinsey (GBB100), Gartner (Hype Cycle for Blockchain), and protected by USPTO patents, it builds on the blockchain-enabled data foundation originally developed at Copperwire, Inc. to solve sustainability\'s two hardest problems: data coverage and data trust.As Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer, I own the sustainability science and domain intelligence that makes Trustbl\'s AI actually work for enterprises — not generic copilot answers, but framework-accurate, audit-ready outputs grounded in GHG Protocol, GRI, BRSR, CSRD, SBTi, and TCFD. I architect the domain-tuned knowledge layer that sits beneath every module — from emissions factor libraries and materiality logic to decarbonization pathway modeling — ensuring the platform doesn\'t just collect data but interprets it the way a seasoned sustainability practitioner would. I bridge four decades of hands-on experience across corporate, consulting, and academic environments with the engineering team to translate regulatory complexity into product logic that enterprises can trust for board-level decisions and statutory filings. When 97% of companies fail to meet their sustainability goals, the gap isn\'t ambition — it\'s scientific rigor applied at system level. That\'s the gap I close at Trustbl.Beyond Compliance & Reporting. To Performance & Value.
