Green Tech
Diplomacy

Independent consultancy for green technology. I collect data, analyse it and interpret it, so the evidence helps you decide. I bring a cross-border view to the problem you are solving.

Interpretation is
the difference.

Data tells you what is happening. Interpretation shows what comes next. I look at how the same problem is solved elsewhere, and this gives a new perspective.

01

Data collection

Reliable evidence from across markets, policy frameworks and research sources. A solid foundation for the question you need to answer.

02

Analysis

A structured assessment of trends, opportunities and challenges. I turn complex data into clear insights for your project.

03

Interpretation

The angle that matters: how others have addressed your challenge, what international trends mean for you, and which partners can help.

About

A cross-border perspective, grounded in evidence.

I’m a freelance analyst and writer, based in Paris, France. I work with different institutions to help them collect and analyse data and write reports on major issues in the energy transition sector.

I have extensive experience in the solar energy policy sector, but have recently started working more with data centers and energy use, as well as their integration into the grid.

  • 01

    Associate Researcher at the Chair in Climate Economics, Université Paris-Dauphine. It maintains my link to the university and a scientific perspective on many issues.

  • 02

    Guest Lecturer (recurring) at University Paris-Saclay, where for several years I have been giving lectures on Concentrated Solar Power and just energy transitions. I really enjoy it.

  • 03

    The project I’m most proud of is the group I co-founded together with Marina Casanova: Women+ in Concentrated Solar. For four years, this group has been organising yearly mentorship programs, webinars where we portray women, and many other activities to increase the visibility of women in the Concentrated Solar sector.

I contributed to several IRENA reports as co-author, and many more were published listing me as a contributor. I have also written several scientific research papers.

I’m always up for work: please get in touch and we can chat.
