Making operations run smoother (more reliable, efficient, and effective) and identifying effective levers to create more sustainable impact quicker.

I’m supporting small food companies and impact organizations as a Freelance Consultant by establishing a structure of reliable and efficient processes, as well as analyzing, recommending, and implementing impact levers to work towards their purpose more effectively or solve their largest challenges faster.

By doing so at (potentially) impactful organizations, I’m hoping to add my personal contribution where it’s most effective in solving the largest problems of our time quicker: climate change, sustainable nutrition, social inequality, mitigate existential risks, etc.
