My career high
My career high was spending 6 weeks in the Kingdom of Jordan, helping the Jordanian government develop a strategy to attract more foreign direct investment in the clean technology sector. In a short period of time, my team was able to help Jordanian leaders in the public and private sector understand which sub-sectors of clean technology the country could realistically compete for, how Jordan compared against leading regional and global competitor countries in attracting and growing investment in those sub-sectors and what strategies and tactics the government of Jordan could employ to enhance its competitive position.
