About
Operations and Carbon Specialist
🚀 Current Role: I'm currently involved in a transformative project in northern Ghana, where we're building a fully regenerative supply chain for an innovative food-tech company. This initiative is set to reshape the way we approach sustainability and agriculture, creating a positive ripple effect for our environment. 🛡️ Prior Experience: Previously, I served as a First Lieutenant in the Swiss Armed Forces, where I led a 47-strong platoon and managed vehicles and equipment valued over 8 million CHF. This experience instilled in me the values of discipline, leadership, and effective management. 🌟 Diverse Background: My professional journey has taken me through diverse fields, including education and hospitality. I'm a well-rounded individual with a passion for film and a deep commitment to environmental causes. These experiences have enriched my perspective and drive my desire to create meaningful change.
