Natasha K.

Commercial lead with more than 13 years of experience spanning the commodities and energy landscape. At ION Commodities I led APAC front‑of‑market engagement—serving as the region’s primary commercial gateway—and drove market expansion through sector‑specific go‑to‑market strategies across energy, power, agriculture, metals, mining and shipping. My career began in oil broking and has evolved into orchestrating commodities enterprise‑level solutions, giving me first‑hand insight into the operational pressures, challenges and risks faced by market participants.I excel at originating and developing enterprise opportunities by blending market intelligence, consultative selling and coordinated execution. Operating as a commercial anchor across the full sales lifecycle, I ensure continuity from initial discovery through deal progression and post‑sales engagement, maintaining strong global relationships and facilitating feedback loops that align client needs with internal teams. Proficient with CTRM platforms and experienced in lean, matrixed environments, I prioritise integrity and adaptability while staying closely involved with both internal and external stakeholders throughout the journey.Alongside my Certified Sustainability Practitioner credential, I’ve also earned an AI certification in sales and marketing, which enables me to leverage emerging technologies to optimise related commercial strategies.Currently I’m supporting OrbicTrade as a consultant during a planned transition to my next senior role. I’ve deepened my knowledge of ESG reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD) and compliance trends to better guide clients through evolving sustainability regulations. I’m passionate about uniting commercial, compliant and sustainable perspectives—leveraging technology, data and ESG‑aligned strategies to deliver real‑world impact. I connect stakeholders across the commodities ecosystem—from producers and traders to regulators, data providers and technology partners—and welcome collaboration with fellow commodity professionals.
