FUTURA · Better Futures is my blog, newsletter and podcast on climate finance, safeguards, ESG and sustainable development. I write between flights, from field sites and ministry meeting rooms, about what I am working on, what I am learning and the opportunities I see for leaders building better futures. Every post can be shared.

Notes from the road
FUTURA
Five continents, more than 40 countries
For twenty years my office has moved with my clients: a departure gate, a field site, a ministry meeting room, from Pacific islands to the Andes and the mining regions of Africa. I have lived on five continents and worked in more than 40 countries. That journey has given me deep cross cultural competence: I understand local cultures, business etiquette and ways of working, and I communicate across languages and contexts so that teams, communities and decision makers are aligned. Wherever your project is, I will be there.
