the opportunities of sustainability in business

Driving innovation and value, sustainably.

More than a buzzword.

I help organisations drive innovation and value through sustainability (ESG) principles.

In today’s fast paced business landscape, addressing sustainability, or ESG issues is a strategic imperative. It drives value and innovation in the context of every operating environment.

With demands on climate related financial disclosures, and sustainability linked risk assessments, understanding the opportunities and risks of a business model is fundamental.

A strategic and results driven leader with over 20 years of experience across complex corporate and industry environments I work across strategy and innovation, governance reform, transformation and stakeholder engagement with a focus on enhancing reputation, managing risk, and driving organisational value.
