With over a decade of experience leading finance and accounting functions - rising from Senior Accountant to Head of Finance - I've built a reputation for driving cost efficiencies, leading digital transformations, and making complex data actionable for decision-makers.

Today, I'm bringing this experience to a cause I'm deeply passionate about: advancing corporate sustainability and ESG reporting that goes beyond compliance - to build trust, transparency, and long term value. 


🔴WHY ESG REPORTING?

✔Because reporting is where strategy meets accountability. 

✔My belief: effective ESG reporting is not just about ticking boxes - it's about influencing change, guiding investments, and aligning business performance with climate and social goals. 

✔That's why I made the shift - leveraging my finance background to help organizations turn ESG data into insights, and insights into impact.

🔴 LET's COLLABORATE

I'm seeking to collaborate with forward-looking organizations - those committed to scaling their ESG impact, evolving their sustainability reporting, or aligning governance with climate goals.

If you need someone who speaks both finance and sustainability, I can contribute from day one.

Let's connect and explore how i can support your sustainability journey!

When I started sharing my ideas on LinkedIn, I didn’t expect one thing — 
how much feedback would come my way, both good and bad.


Some comments were thoughtful and helped me grow.
Others? Let’s just say they weren’t so kind.


At first, I took it personally. I wondered if my content wasn’t good enough — or worse, if I wasn’t good enough.


I thought about changing my approach.
I thought about posting what everyone likes.
I even thought about trying to please everyone.


But here’s what I learned — that’s impossible.


> “If you try to please everyone, you’ll end up pleasing no one.”


And honestly, if I did that, I wouldn’t be me anymore.
I wouldn’t be authentic to the people who actually support me for who I am.


The truth is, negative feedback is part of the game — especially when you talk about meaningful topics like sustainability, change, and leadership.
Not everyone will agree, and that’s okay.
The bolder the message, the louder the reactions.


Now, I take a step back.
If there’s something I can learn from the feedback, great — I’ll grow.
If it’s just hate for the sake of hate, I move on.


Because my energy is limited.
Why focus on the 10% of negativity when 90% of people are showing support, encouragement, and love?


To everyone who’s been cheering me on — thank you.
Your support keeps me grounded and motivated to keep showing up as my true self, and to keep sharing stories that inspire positive change. 🌱


Here’s to growing, learning, and staying authentic — even when it’s not easy. 💪🙂


🔴 How do you usually deal with negative feedback — learn from it, ignore it, or something in between?
