Skills
Summary
I bring three decades of climate leadership at the intersection of science, business, finance and policy. This includes leading the Bank of England’s Climate Hub and the UK’s first Green Finance Strategy, and more recently co-chairing the Disclosure Working Group of the UK’s Transition Plan Taskforce. With an early career in environmental science and entrepreneurial experience co-founding an off-grid solar energy company on graduation from Stanford Business School, the breadth of my experiences provide unique insight, for example, as a Senior Advisor with Chapter Zero, the UK Director's Forum, alongside my role leading the UK Centre for Greening Finance & Investment at the University of Oxford.
