B Leader bio

I'm an experienced sustainability adviser and advocate.

Since September 2023, I've been a senior consultant for the B-Corp accredited Grain Sustainability consultancy.

I also run my own sustainability business, 'Remarkable Impact' (founded 2020) and am the Chair of the board of a sustainability charity in my spare time.

In the 20 years before these current roles, I held a number of in-house sustainability leadership positions in companies including The Co-op Group and Jaguar Land Rover, so I understand the challenges and rewards of bringing good intentions to life in practice within organisations.

I completed a post-grad certificate at the Cambridge University Institute of Sustainability Leadership (2016/17), have been recognised as an agent of change by a UK award scheme and have been a member of a number of steering groups helping to advance responsible business practice in the UK. I am also a teaching Fellow of the Institute of Sustainability Studies and a judge for the Global Good Awards.

I pride myself on my independence and on offering high quality, simple, bespoke solutions to organisations wanting to be a force for good. This might be by helping them define a sustainability strategy, engaging their people around a sustainable purpose, or by helping them clearly communicate how and why they are champions of responsible business practice.

I strongly believe that sustainability should be accessible to all organisations, regardless of history or sector. The B Corp movement has a very exciting role to play in realising this vision.

I designed and run the 'B Corp Academy' programme, with fellow B Leader Alison Phillips. This 12 week online programme takes a small cohorts of SMEs through the Business Impact Assessment process with ease and confidence. This proven model is excellent value and ideal for busy business leaders who are 'sustainability-inclined' but have previously struggled to find the time and resource to complete and submit their B Corp Application.
