When I was the CEO of a grantmaking non-profit for communities affected by natural disasters, I began to realise how much more vulnerable we were ALL becoming because of climate change and other factors related to our industrial, economic, and social systems. My work with Counterpoint rests on the conviction that business-as-usual is no longer viable, and that the challenge to build a more secure future offers unprecedented opportunities. We help business leaders leave quaint notions of CSR and environmentalism behind and plant sustainability at the core of their business development strategy and daily operations, with a practical playbook - where to start, what to prioritise, how to track value and grow brand value steadily, how to build a team and empower them, how to engage employees and other stakeholders... and other nuts and bolts of implementing a strategic sustainability roadmap. I love creating ‘aha’ experiences around the business case for sustainability, and translating visionary strategies into actionable steps to close the gap between good intentions and performance.In a previous life I read medicine, music and theology at London and Cambridge (not at the same time!), and worked in the business, education and non-profit sectors in the UK, Poland and Malaysia.I am inspired by my parents who instilled the values I take for granted, and by my daughter who is a constant reminder that we could be better!I love making new professional acquaintances - let's connect here or by email!Specialties: Business Case (ROI) for Sustainability, Assessment and Benchmarking (GHG, S-CORE, B-Labs), Stakeholder Dialogue & Engagement, Supply Chain Management, GRI G4, Integrated Reporting, LCA and Design for X, 0 Waste, ISO 26000, ISO 20121, Sharing Economy Business Modelling, Living Building Challenge, Natural Capital Valuation, Biomimicry, Product Innovation & Eco-LabellingSectors: General Business, Finance, Food, Events, Manufacturing, Construction, SME
