Corporation: Climate Collective

Title: CEO

Strategic senior leader with expansive partnership, technology and social impact experience. I'm currently the CEO of the Climate Collective, a leading coalition of stakeholders––from investors and non-profit organizations to entrepreneurs and scientists––leveraging trusted, sustainable web3 infrastructure to unlock innovative and verifiable climate action at scale.

I spent 4 years leading Meta's (fm Facebook) strategy around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; Meta's investment in Gender Data; and the Global Strategic Partners program - Meta's white-glove social impact partner program where we partner with high-impact nonprofits to leverage tech and data for real-world impact.

Before Meta, spent 7 years driving frontier tech adoption, climate finance, data and development innovation at the World Bank Group, including the Climate Mitigation portfolio of the Global Environmental Facility, the financing facility of UNFCCC, and decarbonization investments across the globe.

I lived several years in Mozambique, working for GIZ as a regional advisory on sustainable biomass policies and project development of energy efficient cookstoves across several markets in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A global nomad, born and raised in Sweden - with 16 years working in the intersection of international development and technology/private sector. Have lived and worked on 4 continents (Europe, Africa, South America, North America). An economist by training, I thrive in the intersection of new ideas, global challenges and digital technologies. Love to cook, travel and fish.
