Bridging global climate finance and the smallholders who make it real.

Most people in climate work sit on one side of the gap — either policy and finance in the Global North, or implementation in the Global South. I've spent seven years working both.

I started by volunteering for a year at an Indigenous tree nursery in the Philippines, then managed a 1,200-farmer agroforestry program in Kalimantan with Fairventures. At ETH Zurich's Crowther Lab I co-shaped Restor and grew its practitioner community from zero to 8,500 users. I co-founded GainForest to pilot blockchain-based rewards for verified nature impact. I've attended UNFCCC COPs, Global Landscapes Forums and IUFRO world congresses — and along the way shared hotel rooms, dinners and long walks with the investors, funders and policymakers who shape this space.

That's the gap I close for clients: making sure money, data and decisions flow both ways between the people designing climate finance and the smallholders delivering the outcomes.
