Work Background
Freelance | Self-EmployedSustainability and Climate Advisory
Mar. 2026Gold Coast, QLDI am an independent sustainability and decarbonisation advisor with over 15 years’ experience helping organisations navigate complex climate, environmental and transition challenges across mining, energy and major infrastructure. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, science and commercial reality. I support executive teams to move beyond high-level commitments and implement practical pathways to net zero, integrating carbon markets, natural capital, life cycle thinking and operational decarbonisation into core business decisions. I have led sustainability and carbon initiatives on some of the world’s most ambitious projects, including giga-scale energy systems, mining operations and large urban developments. This includes developing carbon neutrality strategies, designing internal carbon pricing frameworks, identifying offset and insetting opportunities, and advising on low-carbon technology deployment and supply chain transformation. A key focus of my advisory work is unlocking value from sustainability. I help organisations understand where climate risk translates into financial exposure, and where decarbonisation can create competitive advantage, new revenue streams or improved access to capital. My areas of expertise include: • Decarbonisation strategy for mining, energy and infrastructure
• Carbon markets, offsets, insetting and credit commercialisation
• Natural capital integration and biodiversity value frameworks
• Life Cycle Assessment and industrial ecology approaches
• ESG strategy, reporting alignment and regulatory readiness
• Major project sustainability governance and implementation I work with clients globally as a trusted advisor, bringing a pragmatic and commercially grounded perspective to complex sustainability challenges. If you are looking to accelerate your transition strategy, strengthen your carbon positioning or build credible pathways to long-term environmental performance, I am always open to meaningful conversations.
