• SInce 2015 when the Foundation merged its research subsidiary EIRIS with Vigeo, I have led the EIRIS Foundation on a new strategy. This is about making sure that responsible investment and corporate responsibly make a.

In the first 18 months following the merger of Vigeo and EIRIS, I devoted my time to helping the integration of the two teams and the products and services of the two organisations as we rolled out our plans to scale the work and develop our offering on a "best of both" basis.More recently I have focussed on representing the organisation internationally.

• From 1983-93 my focus was:
• Establishing EIRIS as a responsible investment research organisation, replacing charitable grants with paying clients
• Helping to create the UK ethical funds market by providing research and producing guides for the public and for advisers.From 1993-2003 the focus broadened from the retail to the pensions industry and to globalising.
• We helped UKSIF (where I was treasurer) support the UK pensions disclosure regulations. UK pension funds had to state their position on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and their asset managers then.
• I commissioned and then “in-sourced” our portfolio manager software which transformed our client relationships
• We built a global network of research partners and started building a global client base.
