Experienced professional in responsible investment, ESG and sustainability. Currently lead analyst and manager of Asia-Pacific research at Sustainalytics. Avid reader and occasional binge-watcher, I like cooking, travelling, practicing yoga and spending time outdoors.

Based in Hong Kong since ’95, CA turned BD pro with sector depth/interest/understanding of the interface of business and sustainability.  Hardwiring as CA has drawn me to get involved in the finance/investment side of sustainability.

Currently the Direct Marketing Manager at UNICEF Australia but have an interest in Responsible Investment. Previously have studied International and Global Studies, receiving First Class Honours.

Currently working at Macquarie Bank in the Banking and Financial Services division as a Broker support officer.  After spending time volunteering with Altiorem through university I would like to pursue a career in the responsible investment space.

I’m Altiorem’s business manager. My role encompasses marketing, fundraising, business and operations support and volunteer engagement. I’m interested in the intersection of social and environmental issues, particularly those that work towards a just transition to a future where people, nature and the economy flourish.

A firm believer in life long learning, I aim to use my experience in the financial services sector, along with my ongoing studies, to contribute to society. I have a great interest in ESG principles, responsible investing (particularly impact investing) and social issues – especially anything addressing social or financial inequality. I’m also a keen scholar of most sports, and still manage to partake (slowly) in touch footy, swimming, cycling, tennis and yoga.
