Global Managing Director

San Francisco, California, United States of America

As the Global Managing Director of Climate Policy Initiative, I lead a 200+ person team of economists, analysts, researchers, data scientists, and other climate professionals across our six offices in Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, the UK, and US.

I advise public and private sector leaders on how to drive economic growth while addressing climate change, and work hard to bring all voices to the table so that we can collaborate on practical, sustainable solutions.
