Om

I am currently the ESG Manager at BeGreen. BeGreen develops utility scale solar PV parks in Denmark, Poland and Sweden.

I hold a PhD in sustainable agriculture and natural resource management from the University of Copenhagen. I have executed a broad range of assignments in the EU, across Africa and Asia, working with a diversity of client types, including the private sector, local and international NGO’s, Governments, and donors.

My work is strongly grounded in assuming a systemic and people-centred approach as a guide to understand sustainability issues, their interlinkages, and trade-offs toward developing appropriate and enduring solutions.

I have published more than 20 scientific articles in the field of sustainable agriculture, climate change and resilience. I draw on this, and more than six years of high-level private sector advisory work to undertake work in the ESG and sustaianbility field, including sustainability assessments, strategy development and implementation,, strategic reviews and programme monitoring and evalaution.

Beyond within my core focus on agriculture, climate change and rural development, I have significant experience across other sectors, including renewable energy, water, health, urban development, security, and conflict prevention.
