About

I provide risk intelligence, due diligence and investigations services at the intersection of anti-money laundering (AML) and mitigating environmental and social risks (ESR) (e.g., reputation risk).

With 5+ years in due diligence and AML in banking and financial services, I have strong research and writing skills, and extensive knowledge of public and private sources of information throughout Latin America, the US and world, in Portuguese, Spanish and English. 

With more than a decade living in Brazil and working in several other South American countries, I am a subject matter expert on extractive industries, especially agriculture for food and fuel, and related ESR that include deforestation, loss of biodiversity, fresh water depletion and pollution, climate change and conflicts over land. I help organizations understand how ESR are intricately linked to geopolitical risks such as migration. I build awareness of solutions to ESR, especially land rights for Indigenous people, and food and farming systems built by smallholders with food sovereignty and agroecology.
