About

Sustainability is moving from disclosure to evidence. I lead ResourceLedger, regulatory-technology building the evidence infrastructure behind climate, sustainability and supply-chain claims. ResourceLedger focuses on a problem now facing regulated commodity and energy supply chains: companies need to connect field observations, supplier records, geolocation, emissions data, shipments and audit trails into systems that can support regulation, assurance, customer due diligence and commercial decisions. The platform is being developed around frameworks such as EUDR, CBAM, GHG, TNFD and T-VER. ResourceLedger reflects the broader work I do: turning technical, regulatory and operational complexity into commercial strategy, product direction and new growth. My strongest domain advantage is sustainability, natural resources and AI, including geospatial intelligence, remote sensing, mine closure, environmental liabilities, climate and nature risk, supply-chain traceability and sustainability verification. Before ResourceLedger, I founded Envirometrics, commercialising geospatial environmental analytics for natural-resource clients. At EY Australia, my work sat inside assurance and environmental liabilities: supporting audit teams on closure provisions, asset retirement obligations and closure cost models, while leading innovation work to develop geospatial and remote-sensing tools that strengthened evidence gathering, monitoring and risk assessment. The throughline across my work is technical productisation and commercialisation: from research to revenue, from regulatory pressure to product strategy, and from environmental data to decisions that boards, investors, auditors and operators can act on.

Experience

  • Founder at ResourceLedger
    Jan 2026 - Present · 7 mos

    Building Resource Ledger, a platform exploring how operational evidence can be captured and preserved across global supply chains to support sustainability verification and regulatory compliance. Current work focuses on: • Developing infrastructure for traceability and evidence management across commodity supply chains • Linking plot-level geolocation, shipments, and supplier records to support emerging regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) • Exploring distributed ledger architecture to maintain tamper-resistant audit trails for supply chain data • Building tools to support emissions reporting, traceability, and sustainability verification workflows • Designing mobile and spatial tools for field data collection and supply chain mapping The goal is to improve how sustainability evidence moves through supply chains, making claims easier to verify, audit, and reuse across reporting frameworks.
