Meet the DEAL Community

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Hello, I'm really interested in supporting action to reverse global environmental degradation. I’ve always been concerned about the environmental degradation I am very much a part of. My efforts have been inadequate and commitment insufficient to what I believe is the most important issue of my lifetime. Deep down, I was feebly hoping that there were smart people who were working on this task and that I could leave it to them. Of course, there are, but I would like to be involved in whatever way I can to “take out the trash” or do whatever other menial tasks I can to support such leaders.

Woking, England, United Kingdom

I trained as an economist and a chartered accountant, worked in business and then built my career in the charity sector. I hate to see valuable resources (inc natural, human energy, money) wasted and am deeply troubled by the big social and environmental problems we have in the world. We need to think differently about how we tackle these problems - through innovation and collaboration. I strongly believe in business as being a force for good and want to help businesses integrate social and environmental impact into their business models in a totally genuine way.
