About me
As a Sustainability Engineer with over a decade of experience in the chemical and energy sectors, my passion lies in driving cleaner production and sustainability initiatives. My expertise includes a deep involvement in the sustainability assessment of energy systems, supply chains, and products in the chemical and construction industries, where I’ve consistently demonstrated excellence.
Robust reporting and communication skills have marked my professional journey. I thrive in challenging environments, bringing a positive outlook and assertive communication to influence positive outcomes at an organizational level. My ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams has been instrumental in addressing complex, high-stakes issues.
I am deeply committed to continuous improvement and adding value to my team. My approach is goal-oriented, delivering high-quality results while continuously enhancing my knowledge and skill set.
My specific areas of passion include sustainability evaluations, carbon footprint analysis, corporate sustainability reporting, and ESG. I am well-versed in various sustainability frameworks such as GRI, DJSI, and the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSDR). My background is enriched by significant experience in the food and chemical industries, especially developing drilling and completion fluids for the oil and gas sector.
As a researcher, I played a crucial role in energy-saving projects across various industrial sectors, actively involved in developing and implementing innovative technologies like ICCEE and LowTemp. Currently, I am finalizing my doctoral studies in Environmental Engineering. My experience extends to performing comprehensive sustainability assessments across product supply chains, developing LCA models, and creating EPDs for European construction companies.
My current focus is on industrial LCA and EPD development, assisting companies in assessing their carbon footprint (in compliance with GHG protocol, ISO 14064, and 14067) and enhancing their corporate sustainability and ESG reports through integrating LCA/EPD insights.
I possess strong proficiency in tools like Microsoft Office Suite, Jira, SAP, and quality assurance tools. My skills in data management and visualization are showcased through the use of Power BI, Python, and specific LCA applications such as SimaPro, GaBi, OpenLCA, OneClickLCA, and CarbonGraph.
