Why I work for Seismic:
We have wonderful, ambitious clients and a fantastic, action-oriented team. At Seismic, we support businesses to be a force for good by joining the dots between their B Corp ambitions and specific sustainability initiatives, such as Net Zero. I enjoy working to create positive social and environmental impact every day.
My experience:
I spent a couple of years calculating businesses’ carbon footprints and advising on carbon tax. As the conversation began to shift beyond compliance, I started working with these same businesses to create exciting sustainability strategies and I led a team of software engineers in building a carbon management platform. I was drawn to B Corp because it knits together these vital environmental elements with the social side, giving businesses a comprehensive strategic framework.
Some companies I’ve worked with:
Coutts, PZ Cussons, Wasabi, JustEat, PwC, Aviva Investors and Royal Mail.
A seismic change I’d like to see in the future:
I’m inspired by courageous people and businesses who do good with urgency. I look forward to seeing more courage, more urgency and more collaboration.
Where I like to be:
I live in London and I like to be rowing on the Thames at the weekend, whatever the weather.
