I develop strategies that drive sustainable change and environmental mitigation. I work for clients that put planetary wellbeing first.

I believe that value is about making things meaningful for others. I specialise in helping my clients to understand their ambitions and define their direction. I look at the present, envision something new and develop inspiring approaches to finding, understanding and delivering my client’s core story through leadership and cultural alignment.
