Forestry, climate change, and natural resource management specialist with 25+ years of experience across Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa. Skilled in linking forest conservation with sustainable agribusiness and value chains, particularly in coffee, agroforestry, fruit farms and plantation systems. Expertise covers participatory forest management, community engagement, carbon markets, certification (Gold Standard, ISCC), and climate-smart agriculture. I have managed forest coffee enterprises, large-scale plantations, and afforestation projects, applying GIS, satellite, and remote sensing technologies for monitoring and compliance. Experienced in designing policy frameworks, donor programs, and traceability systems that strengthen governance, secure land rights, and attract investment. A proven facilitator of partnerships with communities, cooperatives, and international stakeholders, I deliver inclusive livelihood models, capacity building, and training for diverse actors, with a strong focus on gender and social inclusion. Strategic and results-driven, I align conservation, policy, and business solutions to drive climate resilience and sustainable development.
