Leadership
Welcome to Pitchstone Consulting. For close to thirty years I’ve been a sustainability & ESG leader, strategic advisor, technical expert and solution finder to large and small companies and investors.
Having seen how sustainability and ESG issues have developed over this time, across geographies and multiple sectors, the challenge has always been clear – how to build business that is impactful, yet resilient to disruptive shocks, competitive risks, and evolving investor – customer demands.
In founding Pitchstone Consulting, our values are centred around:
- Trust
- Focus
- Pragmatism
It’s my experience working within start-ups, SMEs and large organisations, where the sustainability function was either new to the company or the path forward was ambiguous, coupled with consultancy experience at the lending, due diligence and investing interface that’s valuable to companies and organisations.
Having successfully navigated the difficulties and pain-points first-hand, this ‘lived’ experience is something larger consultancies cannot easily provide.
When we work together, this senior-strategic experience and deep technical expertise becomes a trusted extension of your team.
