About

I am a data & software engineering leader operating at the intersection of Carbon, Environment and Sustainability in the energy sector. At Shell, I’ve grown the Anaplan capability from 20 to 50+ software engineers, delivering solutions used across Projects & Technology, Upstream & IG, Downstream, Global Functions, and Low Carbon Fuels. As Carbon, Environment and Sustainability Digital Value Theme Advisor, I’ve driven enterprise-wide data and digital initiatives, shaping integrated value roadmaps that align environmental and finance data for regulatory and ESG needs. My focus: consistent, accurate sustainability data across businesses, translating complex carbon and ESG requirements into reliable, scalable digital products. I am looking to lead Software Engineering teams in Digital Sustainability, Carbon, and ESG platforms, particularly in complex, regulated industries. I thrive in zero‑to‑one and scale‑up environments where team building, stakeholder alignment, and technical delivery all matter.”
