BIO

For nearly two decades, I've worked at the intersection of innovation, energy, policy, business, and public affairs—helping emerging industries build the markets, partnerships, and organizations they need to scale.

I'm the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Carbon Business Council, a global coalition of 100+ carbon management organizations that is building the economic and policy foundations for long-term deployment. Together, our coalition engages with policymakers, partners, and market leaders to ensure carbon management develops with integrity and impact.

​

I've been advancing energy innovation throughout my career, leading initiatives for companies, accelerators, governments and nonprofits. My work has galvanized billions of dollars in climate infrastructure funding, passed legislation, and reached hundreds of millions of people through public affairs campaigns.​

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT:
Building carbon removal demand 

The Carbon Business Council published a set of interviews with corporate sustainability leaders across the United States and Europe showing that most expect carbon removal to play a role in addressing residual emissions. I led a team effort to speak with Fortune 1,000 company executives who have a net zero pledge but have not yet purchased carbon removal. Learn more about the findings.

CHANGE THEORY

Innovation has the power to unlock entirely new pathways to a more abundant and affordable, energy system.

 

By supporting emerging technologies and creating the conditions for them to move from the lab to the market, we can expand energy choices, reduce costs and emissions, and create new industries and economic opportunities.

 

Building organizations, markets and partnerships is critical to getting the job done.
