Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
I am an ecological economist with 28 years’ experience gained through research, teaching, advising, consulting, management, enterprising and governance in settings ranging from local to global. My professional career has been driven by a life-long passion for ecological sustainability, social-cultural fairness, and innovative economic and business solutions.
Very excited about being welcomed into this community of change makers in 2020. Six years later, the EHF structure has closed itself. A true privilege and honour to have crossed paths and spent time with such amazing people. The relationships, knowledge sharing, innovative strategic thinking will undoubtedly last beyond the formal structure.
Developing and piloting revenue-generating impact value propositions — including blue innovative impact finance — in partnership with project teams. Leveraging the circular, ecological and wellbeing economy approaches to turn recovered plastics (worth millions) into funding for cleanup operations, while avoiding billions in ocean plastic impacts and protecting ecosystem services. Creating adaptable, plug-and-play solutions to make river cleanups financially sustainable, ecologically regenerative, and socially impactful.
