Founder’s Note
Changing the industries the world already runs on.
Changing the industries the world already runs on.
Changing the industries the world already runs on.
I’ve spent my career moving emerging technologies from discovery to real world deployment — and seeing how difficult that transition can be.
That experience led me to found ALMANAC, where I connect climate tech startups with corporate partners across EMEA, help multinationals and government agencies build the internal capability to scale new solutions, and contribute to decarbonization and circular economy strategies.
That same conviction shapes my work across the ecosystem. As a Venture Partner at BetterWay Ventures, a Fellow of the Newton Venture Program and Climatebase, and a mentor through the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, Seedstars, and RAMA IMPACT, I work across investment, innovation, and implementation.
What I share comes from working on both sides of the table — as a startup operator building new solutions, and inside the organizations adopting them.
Because the breakthrough is only half the story. Deployment is where impact begins.
