Woking, England, United Kingdom
A highly experienced and forward-thinking professional with a unique blend of expertise in NHS sustainability leadership, ESG strategy, construction delivery, and project management across healthcare, retail, education, digital, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and the built environment. As Head of Sustainability for both an NHS Trust and Integrated Care Board (ICB), I bring strategic and operational insight into how organisations can drive environmental and social transformation while balancing commercial and clinical priorities. Alongside my professional role, I also serve with St John Ambulance as a qualified Emergency Responder (FREC3), where I am trained to make rapid, high-pressure decisions in complex, often life-threatening scenarios. This frontline experience reinforces my ability to remain calm under pressure, assess risk swiftly, and act decisively—skills which translate directly into senior-level project and leadership environments. My work within the NHS and wider sectors has focused on applying environmental, social and health (ESH) principles in practical ways that drive behaviour change, improve long-term value, and meet both national targets and local needs. I understand that ESG performance must be commercially viable, and I actively align sustainability innovation with cost efficiency, risk reduction, and measurable return on investment. With extensive experience in project management, cost consultancy, design coordination, planning, procurement, and life cycle costing, I’ve led projects across NHS infrastructure, heritage conservation, secure facilities, commercial developments, and major public-sector programmes. I bring deep knowledge from both client-side consultancy and contractor roles, with a strong appreciation for communication, governance, and stakeholder expectations at every level. Known for my commercial awareness, strategic thinking, and resilient leadership, I am a proactive professional who thrives in complex environments and is driven by the desire to create long-lasting, high-impact change through collaboration and innovation.
