  • Climate Advisory Expert

I am a Climate Advisory Expert with more than 20 years of experience in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Previously, I led the development of regenerative agriculture standards and strategic partnerships at Rainforest Alliance. At Root Capital, I contribute to the high‑level design of ACRA‑led advisory modules through participatory design, provide technical input, and help identify new strategic partnerships. I am deeply committed to practical, evidence‑based solutions that strengthen rural livelihoods. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature.
