Environmental Scientist | Climate, Energy, Agriculture & Aerospace
โญ๏ธ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐-๐ฉ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ | ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ญ% ๐ผ๐ป ๐จ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ Five years of government-focused positioning and technical communications for Spire Global. Ten years of consulting across energy, agriculture, climate tech, and corporate sustainability. I work with science and technology-led organizations on projects that require technical understanding and strategic judgment. The exact role changes with the project. Depending on the project, I might be developing a marketing strategy, writing technical content, assessing a program, or conducting research. Other assignments involve websites, reports, presentations, and funding materials. I can read the technical work, follow the assumptions underneath it, and build strategy that stays grounded in what the science actually supports. ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ My training and my center of gravity. My work in this area includes climate adaptation and resilience. It also covers emissions and carbon accounting. Other areas include environmental monitoring, ecosystem and natural-resource management, and science-to-policy translation. That training gives me judgment about which claims are worth leading with and which ones will not survive a hard question from a funder, regulator, or technical buyer. ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐น๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐บ๐ One part of the practice, run through Boundless Blue, my ocean conservation consultancy. I work with marine technology companies, blue-economy ventures, research groups, conservation programs and NGOs. The work includes project development and research. I also support partnerships, funding strategy, positioning, and commercialization. The recurring questions are practical. Is the idea technically credible? Is the program ready? Which partners or funders fit? What needs to happen next? ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ Earth observation and geospatial intelligence โข Satellite, aerospace and deep tech โข Climate tech and environmental technology โข Climate adaptation and resilience โข Energy and renewable energy โข Agriculture and land use โข Sustainability and ESG โข Government-facing technology markets โข Ocean tech, marine conservation and blue economy โข Sensing, monitoring and forecasting platforms ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐๐ผ โข Marketing strategy, messaging and positioning โข Technical and scientific writing โข Environmental, climate and sustainability strategy โข Research and strategic analysis โข Market research, competitive analysis and opportunity assessment โข Websites, reports and conference materials โข Partnership development and ecosystem mapping โข Program development and funding strategy โข Government-facing research and communications โข Commercialization and use-case assessment โข Grant research and writing When a project needs design, I work closely with trusted designers and stay hands-on from strategy through final delivery. I can also draw on a strong network across science, technology, and conservation when specialized input would strengthen the work. I am especially useful on projects that need range because I can get inside a complex subject, test the assumptions, help define the direction, and carry that thinking through to the final material. โ Message me with the project, the audience, and the decision youโre currently working through.
