About

Every role where I have done my best work involved creating something that wasn't there before.

An accelerator and a lending function at Impact Hub. A first-to-market heat pump program at Elevate. A market development function from zero at Hive. I am a builder, most useful at the edge where a problem is real but the playbook hasn't been written.

That work has always lived at the seam between capital and community: structuring debt for businesses banks won't touch, stacking incentives until clean energy is affordable, and turning policy shifts into strategy people can act on.
