I lead Bayer Crop Science's engagement with the United Nations through advocacy and partnerships to enhance sustainable agriculture and food systems in low- and middle-income countries.
I am currently in charge of deepening Bayer’s work with major United Nations agencies relevant to Crop Science (e.g. FAO, WHO, UNEP) and identify transformational partnerships to advance global multi-stakeholders’ action on sustainable food systems, as well as helping to advance UN Sustainable Development Goals as a company. I am representing Bayer in policy proceedings and in the dialogue around sustainable agriculture with the UN. Before joining Bayer, I worked as a food system expert at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, and as a Research Fellow at the University of Pretoria, University of Milano-Bicocca, and New York University. I have a degree in Sociology and a Ph.D. in Urban Studies.
