About

I am passionate about creating and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that address global energy challenges, especially in developing economies. As the Vice President of Technology at Fenice Energy, I spearheaded efforts to design and implement a scalable and tech-differentiated portfolio for distributed energy. Prior to joining Fenice Energy, I had a stint as an independent consultant, working on proposals on rooftop solar, energy storage, and microgrids for various clients. Before that, I was a renewable energy specialist in North America, working on the intersection of technology, economics and policy in the US and Canada. In my spare time, I'm usually found on a mountain on a trek.
