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 โ 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.

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.

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.
