A national of Dominica, over the past 20 years, I have worked across 20+ countries:

+ with the World Bank, developed and delivered energy sector and private sector development initiatives, interfacing closely with ministerial-, senior multi-lateral and business counterparts

+ lead the Climate Resilience Execution Agency for Dominica, tasked with helping the country—ravaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017 (90% of homes damaged or destroyed, 90% of agriculture decimated, total impact was 226% of GDP) achieve its bold vision of becoming the world’s first climate resilient nation

+ with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), pushed the envelope on scaling up commercially-viable, off-grid energy access business models in Africa and Asia. Currently focusing on developing replicable approaches and an investment pipeline to enhance resilience across all infrastructure categories in small islands and small states.
