WORK HISTORY
Head of Strategy and Partnerships - Skills Institute @Innoenergy
At the InnoEnergy Skills Institute—a global leader in renewable energy workforce development—I lead cross-functional strategy, commercial partnerships, and content development operations. My responsibilities span business strategy, ecosystem partnerships, and full accountability for content development and innovation across commercial and publicly funded initiatives in the EU and North America.The content development portfolio includes grant-funded training programs, commercial skilling solutions, and emerging XR-based learning tools. I oversee a globally distributed team of engineers, instructional designers, technologists, and workforce development experts, ensuring resource alignment, compliance, and high-quality delivery across multiple stakeholders and project types.Product architecture for our commercial programs also falls within my remit. This includes hybrid workforce offerings that integrate training and staffing components via strategic partnerships with recruitment firms. In 2024, I led the design of our Talent Pipeline as a Service (TPaaS) model—an end-to-end workforce solution now being piloted by major employers and delivered as a value-added service to clean tech startups within the InnoEnergy ecosystem.With a strong bias toward execution, my work focuses on aligning internal capabilities with evolving market needs, translating insights into action, and driving measurable results in support of the energy transition.
