I lead supply chain ESG and Scope 3 decarbonization programs for global industrial value chains.
GermanySenior Manager, Sustainability at TE Connectivity
About
I led TE Connectivity’s supplier sustainability and Scope 3 decarbonization program, implementing its PCF Policy and engaging more than 500 key suppliers across 30+ countries.
At ERM, I managed climate strategy, portfolio-alignment, GHG accounting, and disclosure projects for global clients including ABN AMRO and BNP Paribas, applying SBTi, PCAF, and TCFD frameworks.
I’ve also built decarbonization roadmaps and ESG reporting alignment at KPMG, and led corporate GHG reporting, chemicals compliance, and conflict-minerals due diligence at Nexperia. My work connects regulatory readiness—including CSDDD, CSRD, EUDR, REACH, RoHS, and LkSG—with practical supplier engagement and governance.
My PhD research and 14 peer-reviewed publications ground my work in rigorous environmental technology and circular resource management. I’m dedicated to enabling a just transition to a sustainable economy through actionable insights for industry, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
