Background

I work on the Systems Innovation team, helping organisations make innovative change. I also do futures work and sit on the energy team here at Forum (although my interests are wide!).

Like many of my colleagues, my path to Forum wasn’t straightforward. I’d originally been interested in marketing and earned my M.Sc. at the University of St Andrews. Following my course I was offered a position working on three public sector futures projects in Scotland. One of these, which examined the future of sustainable communities in Scotland commissioned for the Scottish Parliament, got me particularly interested in sustainability. Since then I have worked on several other independent consulting futures projects with the Scottish Parliament, SEPA and EURAM. I recently started at Forum and look forward to bringing my expertise to projects here, whilst learning more about sustainability and change processes.

My ideal project is multifaceted. I’m passionate about facilitating cooperation between leaders to create environmentally and socially sustainable business practices. And I’m interested in how change takes shape within business and through consumers.

Although I love London’s unique neighbourhoods, live music and museums, I miss the fresh air of the Scottish coast and the Michigan wilderness. Away from work, I spend a great deal of time on my photography, and travel regularly.
