DC, US
I manage a large project team, including consultants, to lead implementation of advisory program that seeks to support decarbonization of hard to abate manufacturing industry in emerging markets with focus on Latin America (LATAM) and mobilize over $1 billion in investment opportunity. In this role, I have extensive interaction with major stakeholders across the ecosystem to create strategies, carbon financing options, circular economy approaches (including plastic, solid waste etc) new standards and regulations, and a roadmap for decarbonization, including identifying new multi-million-dollar investment opportunities and innovative solutions for the hard to abate manufacturing industry with an emphasis on construction sector. In leading global projects, I often partner with external stakeholders such as the Ministry of Finance, Development Banks, organizations like World Economic Forum (WEF), and private corporations on accelerating decarbonization of the manufacturing sector.
