About

I work on the gap between intention and reality, which turns out to be where most of the interesting (and frustrating) work lives. That means working with teams and organisations across the full arc of getting things done: from the moment an idea is real but still unformed, to the plan, to the thing actually happening in the world.

I get called in when something important needs to happen but nobody is quite sure how: when there are priorities but no plan, a plan but no traction, or execution that has quietly stalled. I help figure out what actually needs to be done, structure how to do it, and build the systems that make it possible across environments where nothing goes straightforwardly. Which, in my experience, is most environments.

I've worked across sustainability, development, and policy, from community-level programmes to national policy implementation to multi-country delivery systems. The kind of work that matters a lot but is hard to get done. That's what I'm for.

I hold a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences with honours and a Master's in Management Science & Engineering, both from Stanford University. I later became an Erasmus Scholar in a joint Master's in Circular Economy from Leiden University, TU Delft, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which I completed with summa cum laude, and a torn back muscle. The latter was courtesy of the Norwegian slopes and an over-ambitious stunt I had no business attempting but did anyway.
