About me.

As a seasoned Sustainability Risk Manager with over 20 years of experience in the mining industry, I provide a full range of services tailored to address the complex challenges of modern exploration and mining operations. My expertise covers the entire spectrum of sustainability and risk management, with a focus on exploration and project development.

With extensive international experience and a deep understanding of industry best practices, I offer strategic guidance in key areas such as social performance, cultural heritage, health and safety (H&S), geopolitical risk, and project due diligence. My approach integrates smoothly with your current operations, ensuring compliance with global standards like ICMM, IFC, GRI, and the Equator Principles.

I also specialize in environmental permitting and compliance, helping companies navigate complex regulatory environments to secure approvals efficiently. My services extend to developing robust health and safety management systems, which are essential to keeping your team and the hosting communities unharmed.

Recognizing the critical importance of stakeholder relations, I offer expertise in government engagement and community interaction. This includes strategies and tactics for stakeholder mapping, communication with Government officials, and access negotiations with local and indigenous communities.

For companies looking to expand operations, I can provide thorough project due diligence, conducting social and geopolitical assessments to evaluate potential risks and opportunities in new ventures or regions.

My track record includes successfully leading sustainability frameworks, managing social investment strategies, and maintaining a social license to operate across diverse projects. One of my notable achievements is the "Leadership in Exploration Reclamation Award 2023" from the State of Nevada, granted to Newcrest’s exploration team, reflecting my commitment to sustainable mining practices.

As a multilingual professional with a global perspective, I bring a blend of strategic thinking, practical expertise, and cultural sensitivity to every project. I help organizations not just meet but exceed sustainability standards, manage risks effectively, and foster strong relationships with stakeholders.

Let’s collaborate to elevate your company’s sustainability performance, mitigate risks, and create lasting value for your operations and the communities you impact.
