Strategic Leadership for Climate, Nature & Institutional Transformation

Advising organizations, foundations, and mission-driven enterprises on governance, climate finance, Indigenous leadership, and sustainable growth.

About Us

Sustainsy Consulting is an independent management and sustainability consultancy offering strategic, practical, and people-centered solutions.

With over 15 years of international leadership experience, I support organizations navigating complexity, transition, and growth across climate, forestry, and community-centered development.

As former Interim Managing Director of the FSC Indigenous Foundation, I led institutional stabilization, strengthened governance systems, secured multimillion-dollar funding, and positioned the organization globally during a critical transition phase.

My work bridges strategy and execution — aligning vision, finance, partnerships, and operational systems to deliver long-term impact.
