As the CEO and Founder of Speeki with over 25 years of leadership in ESG risk and having consulted for thousands of clients across more than 100 countries, I bring a unique perspective to sustainability and climate change challenges that goes beyond traditional compliance approaches.

Having built, designed, and managed over 2,500 programmes globally, I understand that effective climate action requires integrating sustainability deep into business operations rather than treating it as an annual reporting exercise. My approach centers on helping organizations recognize that climate disclosure and carbon management—from Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions tracking to CSRD, TCFD and IFRS compliance—represent tremendous opportunities for operational excellence and competitive differentiation. Through Speeki's AI-powered platform, I've helped companies transition from viewing sustainability as a burden to leveraging it as a strategic business proposition that drives innovation, reduces costs, enhances stakeholder trust, and creates long-term value. My philosophy is simple: climate action should be a competitive advantage that strengthens your business while contributing to global solutions, and my role as a NED is to ensure boards have the expertise needed to turn environmental challenges into business opportunities.
