I work at the intersection of technology, humanitarian action, and strategic innovation, focused on developing and deploying solutions that deliver real-world impact in some of the most challenging environments on the planet.
As Managing Director at IHS, I lead a team focused on applying emerging technologies to disaster response, climate adaptation, and global health. Over the past 14 years, I have worked with partners across the UN system, national governments, NGOs, and the private sector to deliver clean water, critical infrastructure, and emergency services to communities in crisis. Our projects span sectors including sanitation, health, education, communications, and disaster risk reduction—reaching millions of people across regions such as the Pacific Islands, Latin America, South Asia, and Ukraine.
I also serve as Chief Strategy Officer at Edge, where we are building hydrogen-based power and aerial systems for off-grid resilience, defense, and disaster recovery. In both roles, I focus on strategic planning, technical leadership, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure solutions are not only innovative, but field-ready and scalable.
My core belief is that the right technology, deployed with empathy and rigor, can help communities build resilience and restore dignity in the face of crisis.
