BIO:
I am currently a consultant to the Ethical and Responsible Investment sector in the UK, having been Executive Director of the UK Social Investment Forum from 2002 to 2005, and prior to that, Assistant Director of the Centre for Business & Society at Ashridge Management College. I started my career at NatWest Bank in 1990, after graduating with a first class degree in Management Science from the London School of Economics. I worked on a variety of strategic projects for different NatWest divisions and subsidiaries for 7 years, before leaving to return to the LSE to complete an MSc in Voluntary Sector Organisation. I am now continuing my studies to PhD level on a part-time basis in the Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice at Bath University.

INTERESTS:
I am interested in assets that are managed to enhance the long-term well-being of ultimate beneficiaries, and the systemic changes that are required to make this approach a widespread reality. I am concerned that non-linear climate change will be one of this century’s ‘predictable surprises’, and believe that we are collectively not doing enough to balance beneficiaries’ short and longer term needs in relation to the sustainability challenge.
