Shaping Better Futures Through Leadership and Collaboration 
​My purpose is to connect and empower corporations, governments, and international organisations to co-create measurable, sustainable impact—transforming today’s challenges into pathways for better futures, across communities, industries, and regions.

I brought together distinct but interconnected entities under one visionary purpose—to empower leaders, institutions, and communities to drive transformational change across sectors and regions

Founder of IBF Global Forums I initiated IBF’s flagship gatherings—including the Women Sustainability Forum (WSF), now in its 8th edition, and the International Forum for Better Futures, entering its second edition—as hybrid and in-person platforms to strengthen global collaboration. In a rapidly evolving world, these forums connect changemakers across science, policy, and practice to accelerate climate action, inclusive development, and bold systems transformation.
