My passion is to work with change-makers, social entrepreneurs, and impact actors to address the most pressing global challenges we face today. Specifically, my focus is on nature-based solutions, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, regenerative agriculture, sustainable supply chains, sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, climate mitigation, climate adaptation and resilience, and just transition. I am committed to creating a world where people live in harmony with each other and the environment, where diversity is valued, and everyone has the opportunity and resources they need to fulfil their potential. My vision is to revitalize the global partnership for the Sustainable Development Goals and create systems change to achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

Peopled is a social enterprise start-up with an ambitious goal to reduce inequality by connecting disadvantaged people with volunteers and donors supporting their cause. I trust that wonderful partnerships and collaboration could arise from the connection with peers in Catalyst 2030 who share a similar purpose. I also believe the connection with leaders who have longer experience in pursuing an impact on inequality and other SDGs could bring invaluable learning.

Hope to effectively contribute to the vision of the movement, with a focus on the Pacific. This includes establishing Pacific ecosystems to enable and drive change (locally and regionally) through a by Pacific for Pacific approach. Big focus will be on enabling leadership and sustainability within the Pacific ecosystem. In return, access to insights, knowledge, and resources from the community would be valuable to the Pacific journey.
