What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead GHG/ESG reporting and assurance, influence sustainability strategy, work cross-functionally, and drive measurable decarbonisation and data improvements.

I am a sustainability professional with eight years' project management experience and over two years in sustainability consulting, holding a First-Class MSc in Management and Sustainability. I lead Scope 1–3 GHG reporting, assurance and stakeholder engagement across 60+ international sites and translate ESG data into board-level insights.

At Ricardo Ltd. I coordinated global data collection and reporting aligned to GRI, CDP and TCFD, managed external assurance with Lloyd's auditors, supported ISO 50001 activity and implemented a quarterly ESG reporting process that improved governance and audit readiness. Previously I delivered project management across large-scale architecture projects and sustainability assessments including BREEAM, LEED and WELL.

I work collaboratively, communicate clearly across functions and focus on improving processes, data accuracy and client outcomes. I am certified as an ISO50001 Internal Auditor and maintain active knowledge of evolving regulation such as CSRD, SBTi and UK SDR.
