⭐️ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁-𝗩𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 | 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭% 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 5 years of government-focused positioning for Spire Global. 10 years of consulting across energy, agriculture, climate tech, and corporate sustainability. I help geospatial, satellite, ocean, and climate-tech companies turn deep technical capability into positioning that wins customers, partners, and funding. I'm an environmental scientist and market strategist – which means I can tell whether a use case is scientifically real before I help anyone sell it. I read the papers your team is building on. I understand the ecology, the climate models, the ocean systems, the sensing. That's why I can explain what your technology does without flattening it. 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 My training and my center of gravity. Climate adaptation and resilience, emissions and carbon accounting, environmental monitoring, ecosystem and natural-resource management, and the science-to-policy translation that sits underneath most climate-tech claims. When a funder, a regulator, or a technical buyer pressure-tests your position, it holds. 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 A core focus through Boundless Blue, my ocean conservation consultancy. I work with marine NGOs, researchers, technology companies, and emerging blue-economy ventures on funding strategy, partnerships, commercialization, and positioning. The work often sits between science and execution: identifying credible use cases, aligning projects with funders and implementation partners, and translating complex marine technology or conservation models for agencies, philanthropies, researchers, investors, and commercial operators.
