Managing Consultant - Delivery Lead for Sustainability & the Circular Economy

• Apr 2019 - Oct 2022

Having goals to become sustainable and Net Zero carbon is one thing, delivering on them is harder. I specialise in helping organisations transform themselves to achieve their sustainable and circular goals. Through PA Consulting’s Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) and UN Global Compact memberships, I collaborated and worked with start-ups, multinationals, government bodies, universities and NGOs on a regular basis. My passion is about driving a world where businesses can continue to grow profitably while also doing good for the environment and society. I also helped set up and chaired the Major Projects Association (MPA) Sustainability Network – a first of its kind - where 40+ organisations collaborate voluntarily on how to embed Sustainable and Net Zero practices into the delivery of Major Projects (Selected as 2022 Finalists for the Association Excellence Award). Additionally, as a market expert, I spoke regularly at conferences, was involved in EMF co.projects, and a member of several Environmental & Circular Economy Clubs. Show less
