Experience

1. Chief Sustainability Officer

   Nuera Capital Corporation

   Jan 2023 — Present

   NUERA CAPITAL | Our projects reflect our culture.Sustainable infrastructure and investing for carbon smart eco-communities. Our mission is to ensure resiliency and mitigate climate risk.At NuEra we advance and invest in communities to enhance the health, comfort, and resiliency of the people and places where we work. Every real estate asset owner, investor, and stakeholder must now recognize they have a clear duty to understand and actively manage environmental, social, governance (ESG), and climate-related risks as a routine component of their business thinking, practices, and management processes.We use GRESB + Building Science to account for double materiality. Through the transparent disclosure of financial and impact reporting, in tandem with third-party verified building certifications, we use KPIs and science to measure every achievement. These practices better our decisions and mitigate risk across all our project portfolios to benefit the environment, society, and our local and global economies. By 2025 we aim to eliminate scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. By 2030 we envision full project circularity with absolute zero emissions, including those in scope 3. To achieve these goals, we’ll trace our supply chain, employ biophilic design and local prefabrication, and interconnect front-of-meter energy generation while we rate each effort at key waypoints. From inception through reporting, we’ll preserve and benefit our naturally beautiful places by maximizing health, efficiency, water savings, and workforce development, while minimizing operational and embodied energy, toxicity, and waste.
