About

As the Climate and Energy Lead at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), I have over 25 years of experience in managing a multi-million portfolio of adaptation and mitigation projects for developing climate services for the Water-Energy-Food nexus in Africa, South America, Pacific and South East Asia. I leverage my expertise in climate science and policy to enhance the capacity of all countries to address climate change and enact a sustainable development agenda, in alignment with the global landmark agreements. I also lead the Climate and Energy programme at WMO to develop weather, water and climate services for energy resilience, efficiency and renewable energy. I build and manage transformative initiatives at the interface between climate science and socio-economic sectors, especially the energy sector, through strategic partnerships with international energy organizations, public and private sectors, academia, civil society, media groups and associations. I am passionate about adding value to transformative solutions for a resilient, low-carbon energy for all, and I have been recognized as a top 10 Sustainability Influencer, Global 50 Women in Sustainability (2023), LinkedIn Top Voice since 2022 and 2025 nominee for the LUCE Awards for Legacy Women.
