My journey began in Mexico and Kenya, working and studying alongside small family farmers. This laid the foundation for my early career at Twin, a key player in the fair-trade movement. There, my focus was on supporting farmer cooperatives in Africa and South America and promoting the growth of the fair trade market..

After Twin, I joined the sustainability non-profit Forum for the Future. I led local initiatives on sustainable food and energy, contributing to Bristol in the UK becoming the first European Green Capital.

Expanding on my Twin experience, I played a pivotal role in Tea 2030, the first global sustainability project to bring together major players in the industry to chart a sustainable future for the tea sector.

As a senior member of Forum's food team, I led corporate strategy development with sustainable business leaders like Jordans Ryvita, M&S, Unilever, and Waitrose. My work extended to major companies in the US and Malaysia.

Initiating the Protein Challenge 2040, the first international coalition on the protein transition, aimed to transform how we produce and consume protein within environmental limits. It evolved into a global collaboration involving over 20 organisations in the food industry, inspiring action worldwide.

In the past 5 years, I've been the Executive Director of Eating Better, a coalition of over 60 influential non-governmental organisations. Our mission is to accelerate the shift from excessive meat and dairy consumption to a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable food system. Notable members include NGOs like Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and WWF.

I am extremely grateful for the career I have had to date working on some of the most important issues on the planet. I’ve got to learn and grow from the support of many passionate people across different countries and continents, which I am humbled by. I count myself fortunate to have developed respect from working on such a range of issues across the global food system.
