Bio

I studied Natural Sciences and then a PhD in Chemical Physics at Cambridge University. My PhD “Novel sensors for the selective detection of hydrocarbons in Ultra High Vacuum” combined several academic disciplines of solid-state-electrochemistry, materials engineering and surface science. I spent almost ten years as a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group, leaving just before achieving Partner promotion and following maternity leave I then transitioned to Virgin Atlantic where I was Vice President Corporate Development and Sustainability, encompassing; Sustainability, Corporate Strategy, Government Affairs and Heathrow Expansion. I am currently VP Europe at Carbon Engineering where my regional accountabilities include strategy, government affairs and business development. I am a vegan, driven by animal rights and reducing my carbon footprint
