There is increasing pressure on businesses to act – I relish helping them figure out what their responsibilities are, where the regulatory lines are drawn, and what they need to do to make a credible impact.
I love translating theory into action and particularly enjoy bringing stakeholders together to tackle important global issues. We need every part of our society to step up and take action, and it is so much more powerful when we collaborate.
As well as being at the helm of multiple client projects, I drive the businesses finances and operations, as well as building and supporting our incredible team to thrive.
Sustainability is a complex topic and delivering meaningful change means facilitating multiple stakeholders to work well together, to untangle some of our biggest problems. We tackle complexity by using actionable market intelligence, helping organisations to make informed decisions and realistic action plans.
I want to create something that has a lasting and meaningful impact on the world. Capitalism can create a real mess sometimes, but has a crucial part to play in creating a fair economic system. Meaningful transformation requires strong engagement across a range of sectors, businesses and stakeholders. I strive to generate positive impact by harnessing both individual and corporate strength.
Part of this is working with key decision-makers to make change happen. Supporting a CEO and leadership team to rethink the purpose of their business is hugely rewarding. I am very proud of the work we do and the role we play in making the world a better place.
I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of being a diplomat. But perhaps would end up pursuing my love of theatre and aim for the stage!
My husband and I have a ginger cocker spaniel, so we can often be found roaming around the Scottish countryside for miles trying to tire him out. I am also a keen singer, and am never happier than on the soprano line of a four-part harmony.
My first degree is in Geography from the University of Cambridge and my post-graduate degree is in International Law and Human Rights from the University of London (I wanted to dig deeper into the legal frameworks that guide our global systems so studied for an LLM).
I began my working life managing a grass-roots charity in Ghana, championing children’s education and rights. It was a wonderful experience, but I felt drawn to effecting change at a larger scale, which is why I switched to working in the corporate world.
I have been a sustainability consultant ever since: it is where my interests and my skills intersect. Before founding BRODIE, I worked for the sustainability consultancy Sancroft, where I met my co-founder, Duncan.
