About

My work sits at the intersection of climate, natural systems and capital with a focus on how investment, markets and financial structures can support both economic resilience and the protection and regeneration of ecosystems. Alongside this, I am completing graduate studies in Natural Resources and Sustainable Ecosystems at Harvard Extension School, focusing on planetary boundaries, natural systems and regenerative economics. Previously, I spent nine years investing and building innovation at the intersection of climate, energy and technology at Shell Ventures, where I worked on scaling technologies and market infrastructure supporting the energy transition. Looking forward to collaborating with people and organisations working on climate, nature, and regeneration! 🌎🌿 [picture is from a recent hike ~ the John Muir Trail ~ 340km through the beautiful Sierra Nevada Wildernis in California (msg me for tips!)]
