Funding the Commons Forum Berlin

I'm passionate about harnessing blockchain technology to drive sustainable development and innovation at scale.

As Sustainability & Innovation Lead at the Cardano Foundation, I bridge cutting-edge blockchain solutions with real-world impact through strategic partnerships and enterprise lighthouse projects with UN agencies, positioning Cardano as the leading blockchain aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I also coordinate our engagement with Project Catalyst and emerging ecosystem funding programs, developing frameworks for decentralized funding governance.

My work spans the humanitarian & development sector, academia, regulators, and web3 enterprises, representing Cardano Foundation in key committees and global forums. I serve as a Board Member for the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INABTA) and as a WEF Global Shaper in the Geneva Hub.

I hold a Masters in International Affairs from the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Bachelor's in Economics, Finance & Social Development from the University of Cape Town, with extensive experience in education, research, innovation cooperation, and international NGOs.
