​I love extreme sports and adventure challenges, whether it's on trails or on snow, up mountains or in the sea.

​

• I'm a successful endurance athlete, competing at World Championship level in ultra-marathons, Ironman triathlons, and cross-country skiing.

• I was the first female in the British infantry, and in the Army for 5 years. This instilled the grit, resilience, and leadership that now underpin everything I do.

• I've planned and completed many self-sufficient, long-distance bike-packing and backpacking expeditions across multiple continents. 

• I'm a passionate trail runner, and avid scuba diver.

​

Months camping and spending so much time outdoors, have given me first-hand experience of the detrimental impacts climate change is having on the places and communities I love to explore.

 

This dovetails with my corporate career as an investor and industrial operator. I have a Chemistry PhD and first-class undergraduate degree, both from the University of Oxford, where I was also an academic scholar. 

 

For 10 years I've been passionate about building, backing and scaling revolutionary technologies that accelerate the energy transition and unlock deep decarbonisation.
