Metropolitan Police

• United Kingdom
• Law Enforcement
• 700 & Above Employee

• Police Officer

  • janv. 2020 - juin 2022

  I volunteered as a police officer working mainly in emergency response teams responding to 999 calls. I also participated in specialist operations involving counter-terrorism and Scotland Yard. I encountered the consequences of a broken social security system, high levels of deprivation, defunded mental health services, and serious youth on youth violence. I was always a fair and liberal officer, and while the police are fascinating to see from the inside, my time in the force coincided with a series of deeply disturbing incidents that undermined the Met’s reputation. I observed that the regular officers I worked with were normally decent people, professional, and good at de-escalation. Also overstretched and overcommitted to structural societal problems that the police are not trained or empowered to deal with.

  I co-founded the market-leading climate lobbying think tank, InfluenceMap to help institutional investors and civil society challenge the corporate capture of climate change politics. I also developed FinanceMap, a tool to assess the finance sector's behaviour through a climate lens. This work included the world's first external quantification of investors' stewardship performance around climate change.

  • déc. 2011 - déc. 2014

  I managed a project, out of Berlin, looking at empowering citizens over companies through their power as beneficial owners to help address systemic issues such as climate change. I also worked on consultation with stakeholders about the political leverage corporations have over climate change policy and developed new questions that were included in the CDP annual information request.
