Apr 2017 - Apr 2019
In 2017 I was appointed Director of Sustainable Development for Arup Group, with primary responsibility to align Arup’s global business with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I believe we as engineers and designers have a primary responsibility to help create a sustainable future. My vision was for Arup to meaningfully and demonstrably contribute to a sustainable future through a deeper understanding of social, economic and planetary needs, and the development of practical, innovative solutions in the built environment.My role involved development of global strategy, policy, and an implementation plan, and involved the mobilisation of a global coalition of change agents across the globe, all passionate about making a difference. The key ambition was to make Arup relevant to the future.
