Executive Overview

Directing Holcim’s financial targets to drive the successful execution of the company’s “Strategy 2025- Accelerating Green Growth”, I'm passionate about finance as a force for good. Sustainability is at the heart of Holcim’s strategy, and finance is no exception. For the construction and real estate sector, sustainable finance enables the transformation of industries to become more sustainable. Building strong teams where each individual is empowered to perform at their best is my priority. My international career has shown me the power of enabling an inclusive culture, embracing diversity and performing with integrity. Recognizing the important role of sustainable finance and empowering teams to thrive in the shift to net zero, I share insights to ignite discussions on this topic on LinkedIn so that, together, we can explore the transformative power of finance. Join me on this journey at the crossroads of decarbonization, sustainable finance and social impact.
