I’ve radically simplified my website, too much was about roles from a decade ago.
I’m a portfolio worker. I helped create a credit union, a community owned wind farm, and then a solar farm. That led to a role as a non-exec director in a community renewable energy developer.
I was elected to the board representing community energy projects across Europe, and I’m a director of the community energy association in England.
I joined the board of an inspirational social enterprise that creates low energy work space for social enterprises and finally helped create a transition town charity in my local community.
I’ve started to learn French. That has opened my eyes to a different culture.
In 2010 my career was focussed on finance and local government. Now I use my knowledge to help cooperatives across Europe. I’ve met lovely and inspiring people along the way and I usually leave meetings feeling inspired.
Whilst it was scary at the time – looking back I can see it was the best thing I’ve done.
