The Strategic Diplomat & Climate Authority Resides | Global Climate Change Specialist Advisor | Board Member | NetZero Infrastructure & Trade Strategist (UK, UAE, EMEA, WA) I am a Policy Architect and results-driven President with over 25 years of experience architecting growth at the intersection of renewable energy, international trade, and institutional governance. My career is defined by the ability to bridge the gap between complex industrial infrastructure and sophisticated global capital. Currently serving as a Climate Change Specialist Advisor aligned with UN COP and UNCCF frameworks, I lead the transition to NetZero mining through innovative, grid-free energy systems. I specialize in the "Financial Engineering" of sustainable assets—most recently modeling a 100 MW solar lifecycle with an 8-cent index-linked PPA, generating a projected $125M+ surplus while providing a strategic hedge against fossil fuel volatility for the mining sector. Bridging the UK-UAE-WA Corridor: My leadership extends across the UK, UAE, and EMEA, where I have facilitated high-level "sovereign-to-sovereign" trade dialogues. As an associate member of the CBI and the UK CoC UKTi I leverage deep industrial networks to secure FDI and scale critical infrastructure. I have navigated complex jurisdictional transitions, such as the PMMC to GoldBod shift in West Africa, ensuring regulatory transparency and investor confidence. Institutional Governance & Social Impact: As a Board Member for the Birmingham and Solihull NHS Foundation Trust (Mental Health Board), I oversee strategic governance for one of the UK’s largest mental health trusts. This role has sharpened my ability to manage multi-million-pound budgets and navigate public-sector compliance while driving institutional change through Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) mandates. I believe an inclusive experience is the ultimate fuel for innovation; I am committed to building career pathways for talent from all backgrounds. Core Expertise: Energy Transition & EPC: Proven track record in large-scale solar/BESS EPC. Championed initiatives delivering £45M+ in annual revenue, focusing on NetZero mining and sustainable water systems. Global Trade Aggregation: Expert in "Self-Aggregator" JV models (Afa EFA Mining / Awuba Abil) across the UK, Dubai, and Africa. ESG & Policy Advocacy: Balancing industrial profitability with environmental advocacy as a member of Friends of the Earth. Complex Problem Solving: Focused on driving P&L performance while staying aligned with the Department of Energy and Economic ECOWAS
CBA I provide leaders with clarity when the external environment is complex My work has focused on connecting sustainability ambitions with practical delivery models especially around housing, infrastructure and community resilience Net Zero is not only an environmental objective it is reshaping infrastructure markets, asset resilience and future investment value The challenge is converting transition policy into investable strategies: understanding regulation, technology shifts, affordability pressures and long-term asset performance Successful transition requires alignment between policy, finance, risk, legal and operational teams. The strongest transition strategies are those that recognise climate policy, economic competitiveness and investment performance are increasingly interconnected.
