Conscious Business
Financial Strategy for purpose led businesses
Whether it’s financial strategy to strengthen the foundations and future of your purpose-led business, or finding ways to weave sustainability more deeply into how you operate, I’m here to support you.
My goal is to help your impact grow, last, and continue doing good in the world.
“This idea that commerciality and sustainability might be in opposition to one another is simply no longer the case. More and more we’re going to see that when you embed principles of sustainability into your business practice and into your strategy it’s going to set up your business for more success in the future”
Elsa Palanza, Global Head of Sustainability and ESG at Barclays
Why Me
I bring clarity to complexity through;
- an understanding of the real tensions that can exist between commercial and sustainability goals, and see it as a space for meaningful change.
- over 20 years of analytical, financial, and strategic experience with market leaders
- a coaching lens, to shine a light on the cultural and human dynamics
- a creative and intuitive approach
Fundamentally, I believe that when businesses are rooted in care, integrity, and purpose, they don’t just survive, they flourish.
