Growing up surrounded by nature and wildlife, I developed a deep love for the natural world from an early age. My long term ambition is to become a wildlife presenter - believing that entertainment could be the most powerful gateway to educating people about sustainability and influencing their values on a global scale.
After beginning studies at Imperial College, I made the pivotal decision to leave university during my first year. I realized that rather than learning theory, I needed to make a tangible impact in the real world. This led me to interview over 500 leaders across the sustainability spectrum - from CEOs of major energy companies and utilities to policy makers, non-profit organizations, and investors. These conversations provided me with a holistic understanding of sustainability challenges and solutions that transcended individual perspectives.
Through my company, Apex Growth Partner, I initially worked with sustainability companies before recognizing that to truly accelerate change, I needed to engage with larger entities. My current company, APEXION, now collaborates with billion-dollar utilities, multinationals, and energy corporations to align sustainability with strategic growth. Our work focuses on creating tangible environmental impact at scale by addressing the systems and frameworks that influence entire industries. At 20 years old, I'm just getting started on my mission to reimagine sustainability by addressing root causes rather than surface-level problems, and to change the world for the better.
