State Street is one of the global systemically important banks and I lead its sustainability and climate program, reporting to the Executive Committee.

My skill lies in working with CEOs on strategy implementation, bringing about transformation through relevance and purpose. I began my career on the Barclays graduate program, spending a decade at the Bank with leadership roles in Investment Management, Strategy and Sustainability, followed by eight years at KPMG. I have always held a public, civil society and cultural role alongside my business one, having variously been a member of a local authority, an NHS Trust non-executive director, and an advisor on arts governance, including as an independent panel member for UK public appointments. I am an experienced trustee with an interest in building the governance frameworks necessary for business, government and civil society to collaborate. I am passionate about music and the importance of music education. Having worked between the UK and US for almost all my working life, I am proud to be on the Advisory Board of the Queen Elizabeth II 9/11 Garden in New York as well as being a Trustee of The Royal Parks in London, where I chair the investment committee.
