What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on commercial role in renewables where I can drive cost savings, improve forecasting, lead procurement/tenders, and collaborate across stakeholders within a fast-paced, improvement-focused team.

I am a tenacious commercial professional specialising in onshore wind and energy advisory, combining financial insight, data analysis and stakeholder management to support cost-efficient, compliant operations across operational renewable portfolios. I currently manage commercial analysis, cost governance and risk mitigation for multiple UK onshore wind assets, delivering measurable savings and improved forecasting.

I have delivered initiatives including a business-rates recovery that returned approximately £75k+, led tenders for statutory inspections and mid-life servicing, and built an Excel availability forecasting model to monitor contractual performance. My background includes energy economics, PowerBI visualisations, policy analysis and experience in fast-paced fintech and consultancy environments, and I thrive driving process improvements and cross-stakeholder collaboration.
