About
I am a sustainable finance consultant and project manager with over nine years of experience structuring innovative financing mechanisms for climate-related investments across Africa and Asia. With a proven track record of mobilizing and structuring over $250 million in climate finance, I specialize in blended finance, fund structuring, and the design of sustainable finance facilities, credit lines, and thematic bond frameworks.
My work supports governments, DFIs, and private financial institutions to strategically leverage concessional capital and optimize capital stacks that balance risk and return for both commercial and impact-oriented investors. I bring deep expertise in stakeholder engagement, policy alignment, and implementation planning, underpinned by technical proficiency in financial modelling and fund design. My approach combines rigorous market scoping with a practical understanding of legal, regulatory, and operational considerations needed to make blended finance solutions bankable and scalable.
I have supported institutions including the World Bank, AFD, GGGI, UNDP, and UNEP-FI, with recent assignments in Rwanda, Morocco, Pakistan, Thailand, Jordan, and Fiji. Before focusing on climate finance, I advised on financial strategy across the healthcare, infrastructure, IT, and education sectors.
