"At Skat, we are driven by the belief that good governance empowers communities, strengthens institutions, and transforms lives. We actively leverage our deep experience to strengthen public institutions and civil society, driving governance improvements across Skat's diverse thematic areas. One of my favorite aspects of this work is collaborating with my colleagues, project partners and beneficiaries to help build better lives and shape a more just, participatory, and hopeful future."
"I am very proud today to lead this team of dedicated professionals, finding creative solutions for today’s key challenges – climate change, rapid urbanisation, energy efficiency and transition, water resource management, and governance."
"In the many years I have been working with SKAT, I have witnessed many trends in the renewable energy sector but the overall increasing importance attributed to the topic gives room for optimism. My goal has remained to address the complexity of the topic which is of high relevance for economic and social development as well as for climate justice."
“My work at SKAT allows me to combine technical and methodological expertise with a collaborative approach to tackle complex water challenges globally. What drives me is building bridges between policy and practice.”
“My work emphasises an integrated approach to water management, enhancing resource efficiency and resilience while fostering collaboration among stakeholders at all levels. By applying systems thinking, I strive to create frameworks that leave a lasting impact on both people and ecosystems.“
“I am captivated by how people build in tough conditions, weaving together shifting networks of people, materials and knowledge. When rules and systems fall short, (re-)construction becomes harder yet more vital—and I am driven to support those who take on that challenge.”
