I have always been intrigued by 2 topics: the environment (especially nature and wildlife) and innovation. When I was young, I loved going out into nature, snorkeling with my dad to see fish and learning more about the environment every day. That curiosity developed into a desire to have a meaningful impact, which led me to study renewable energy technology and business, fields that would allow me to create change where it is needed and to do so in a way that makes economic sense. I have been working in the impact investing sector for 8 years now and have built expertise in technology, deal making, finance and strategy. In addition to this career, I am also a certified divemaster, which means I can work professionally as a dive guide. I did this for a few months in Honduras, where I mainly worked on coral restoration programs. I am sure that in the future there will be another venture where I can combine my different passions.

What drives me is that I see climate change and pollution all over the world. I also see the different social/wealth classes and the unequal distribution. The world is beautiful, but we are not leaving it for our children as it should be. In my daily work, I believe that we can all make a difference by using our time and brains to improve it.

At Invesdor, we have grown from a start-up to the largest impact investment platform in Europe in 10 years. We support entrepreneurs in growing their business with a focus on impact, strategy and financing and help them structure their investment round so they can raise funds from our network of 200k private investors. I am currently Head of Growth and focus on further expanding our brand and platform in Europe.

I have known Generous Minds for a while and have always been enthusiastic about their inspiring energy and motivation for a better world. By combining the ecosystem of Invesdor and that of Generous Minds, we can even better help companies that contribute to a better world to grow their impact and business faster.
