With 20 years of international experience across the U.S., Taiwan, the UAE, and China, specializing in ESG strategy, climate disclosure, decarbonization, and high-performance green building systems.

1) Invited by the World Bank Group’s Global Indicators Group (DECIG) to contribute to the Building Green global project as a U.S. expert — benchmarking building energy codes and standards across 88+ countries to inform international policy development and climate mitigation strategies (2026). As the holder of both the EDGE Expert credential (an IFC/World Bank Group innovation, administered by GBCI) and the City Climate Planner – Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist credential (a joint program developed by the World Bank and GBCI), this selection reflects a multi-layered connection to the World Bank Group’s sustainability ecosystem rather than a standalone recognition.

2) Served as a Project Award Judge for the U.S. Green Building Council’s 2026 Local Leadership Awards — part of USGBC’s first coast-to-coast national program — evaluating project excellence and leadership in sustainable development across the East North Central region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio).

3) One of only five professionals globally (as of March 2026) holding LEED AP credentials in all five specialties and serving as USGBC Faculty, a select group of subject matter experts authorized to deliver official USGBC education programs.

4) When legacy LEED AP designations — earned before June 30, 2009 under the original LEED AP system and no longer obtainable — are considered, currently one of only two actively practicing professionals worldwide holding this combined distinction.
(Verification: Google “USGBC People Directory,” go to the official directory page, and filter simultaneously by “LEED AP ND” and “USGBC Faculty” on the left panel — then look for profiles displaying the legacy LEED AP logo in black and white.)

5) In early 2015, as the only PfMP (Portfolio Management Professional) credential holder in Greater China at the time, was invited by PMI (Project Management Institute) to serve as a PfMP Exam Item Writer — with all travel, accommodation, and expenses fully covered by PMI. Since 2020, has served for over five years as a PfMP Exam Panelist, responsible for evaluating and approving or rejecting candidates’ eligibility applications. PfMP holders represent approximately the top 0.1% of PMP credential holders globally, reflecting the highest level of portfolio management expertise recognized by PMI.

6) Education:

(M7; consistently ranked top 5 in the U.S.; ranked #1 globally by The Economist in the year of enrollment, 2016);
