With Opportunity Green since: January 2025
“Much of what I do involves talking to stakeholders and decision makers to advance our green agenda, particularly in the shipping and aviation industries. It’s a long way from customs, social security or recycling, but the red thread throughout my career has been nerding out on science, tech and legal texts in order to help improve regulatory environments. OG allows me to do just that, in some of the most exciting sectors to decarbonise!”
