——-————BIO—-—————

Raised in the Philippines by a Filipina mother and French-Swiss father, I carry a deeply multicultural perspective shaped by living across four continents and travelling to 80+ countries.

My career began in brand marketing, and communications - spanning McCann Erickson in Tokyo, Nike across four continents, and Temasek Trust in Singapore. These experiences shaped my understanding of how storytelling, business, and capital can drive systemic change.

I believe capital, when mobilised with intention, can transform systems and shape a better future.

I build and lead ventures at the intersection of impact, investment, and community:

  • Co-founder of Investors for Climate - a global network of 430+ investors across 44 cities, mobilising capital into climate solutions

  • Founder of Women Beyond Limits - empowering women through mentorship, expeditions, and leadership development

  • Founder of Her Planet Earth - pioneering all-female expeditions raising funds for conservation and women-led initiatives

Today, my work focuses on mobilising capital, building trusted global communities, and accelerating climate solutions at scale.
