I am an experienced travel industry professional with a passion for sustainability. I have recently completed the Business Sustainability Management short course with the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership. I am now keen to put my knowledge into practice, ensuring that businesses, in all industries, embed a culture of people, planet and profit.The Business Sustainability Management course was intense, tutored by world-renowned sustainability professionals, and covered: • Sustainability challenges and opportunities• The business case and leadership for action• Regulatory environment and international policy• Production and consumption• Design, technology and planning for sustainability• Communication and marketing• Collaboration and partnerships• Rewiring your business approachThe challenging and incredibly insightful course showed the possibilities for the future ahead, leaving me in no doubt that urgent, innovative, change is needed from all companies, in all sectors, in all countries. Businesses need to act now to transform, to be ahead of legislation, lead the way and minimise their own risk. There’s a lot of work to be done and I want to be part of it.In my previous roles at STA Travel I was a valued senior leader with a passion for coaching and team development. My engaging personality ensured I built strong relationships with my complex portfolio of partners. My commercial mind and creative thinking led to innovative and successful product development, strategy and sales. I am a great communicator, thriving in cross-functional roles that require collaboration, internally or externally, to meet joint objectives. I am looking to combine my sustainability knowledge with my successful commercial and leadership skills to be a business sustainability change agent.
