With a background in social science and over two decades of business, transformational change and international experience, I am a senior executive, trusted board advisor and entrepreneur who aligns strategic visions with environmental and social impacts. I work with organisations of all sizes and types, from startups to scaling and established companies, empowering them to become innovators, bridging the gap between sustainability and growth. As a valued strategic advisor, I am frequently approached by boards to help in areas such as facilitating new market expansion to accelerate growth, building collaborative cultures and creating a workforce for the future, or shaping an environmental action plan. My personal network is extensive, comprising many different individuals and contacts that could lead to commercial or strategic collaborations that enable entities to scale quickly. I share my passion and message with others through keynote speeches and podcasts. Topics include ‘Sustainability and Innovation’, ‘Grow Through International Expansion’, and ‘Urban Development in Post-Conflict Cities’. I was proud to be a guest speaker at the UCL Graduation Ceremony in 2023 for the Bartlet School of Architecture Master’s Programme, and also a keynote speaker at their UCL Annual Sustainability Awards in 2022. With the climate crisis becoming front and centre of international policy, I am regarded as someone who stands out in the industry due to my scepticism around current sustainability approaches, combined with a new radical forward-thinking approach and solid business acumen. I believe I help businesses tackling sustainability to succeed.I am always open to making new connections, sharing my insights with like-minded people, and discussing board-level advisory opportunities or new consultancy engagements, so feel free to make contact.Specialities: Strategic Development and Alignment > Trusted Board Advisory > Board Dynamics > Governance > Effective Decision-making > ESG and Sustainability Innovation > Revenue Growth > Driving Change > Scaling and Expansion > International Trade and Investments > Mentoring > Brokering Introductions > Building Collaborative Cultures
