Senior public policy and sustainability/ESG advisor. I’ve been working in renewable energy and sustainable investment for ten years in government (UK Cabinet Office) and industry (at Bulb and at Octopus).

I was the first regulatory and policy hire at Bulb, the renewable energy supplier and one of the UK’s fastest growing companies. I built Bulb’s approach to sustainability, law and regulation from scratch as it scaled from 100k to 1.7m customers. I work with the senior leadership on Bulb’s sustainability credentials, public policy positions, regulatory strategy, international expansion, product development and compliance framework.

Prior to this, I was a Senior Adviser in the UK government’s impact investment team, leading its work on supporting new business models like B Corp, embedding ESG factors into tax and regulations, and building impact-driven organisations like the Access Foundation. I began my career in corporate and international law at Freshfields in London and Paris.
