London

After a master's in Human Resources I worked as a Headhunter for the development/ non-profit sector and then worked as an HR Generalist in a for-profit. I witnessed how corporations' focus on profit maximisation, sales, revenue and growth are governed by capitalism and have got nothing to do with social issues, the environment and socio-economic inequalities. It became apparent that ever-increasing production and consumption are considered normal whilst it isn't.  I was inspired to do another masters at UCL in Science Technology and Society which gave me perspective on the role of science and policymaking in bringing material changes in the world. I tried transitioning into social research and projects but had a tough time. I enjoyed reading the work of Mariana Mazzucato, Kate Raworth, Jason Hickel as it resonates with my concerns and answers some of today's pressing problems. While I continue to be a Human Resources professional my mind is occupied with the problems of the 21st Century. I feel everyone on the planet should have the opportunity to contribute to such issues. I'd love to be a part of the DEAL Community and connect with like minds. I hope to learn ways in which professionals across fields could contribute towards maintaining the planetary boundaries in an equitable fashion.

All of my work is driven by action with enterprise, working to help the business community to understand:  🤔 What they do; 🧐 What are the associated impacts of what we do and the climate risks posed to incumbent business models; 😃 How businesses can move towards co-created long-term visions of sustainability via innovations at the strategic, business model, product, service and process levels, in so doing enhancing their resilience to the climate threat. My entire background has been applied work with organisations that range from the European Commission, to global industries such as the aviation sector, multi-national corporations, local authorities, SMEs, and local community groups. I have also covered themes as diverse as climate change, waste management, environmental noise management, communication and engagement between stakeholders and many, many more. In so doing I have developed experience across a range of areas that drive business responses to climate.

I am a PhD Candidate at NTNU, in Norway. My research is about material and carbon footprint (nexus) in urban systems.

Therefore, we use Environmentally Extended Input Output (EEIO) analysis to study household consumption behavior, environmental impacts and rebound effects.
