Having worked in international recruitment and search since 1992, in 2007, tired of hotels, and uninspiring market sectors I resigned and I Co-Founded a UK based renewable energy installer/EPC company. We quickly became one of the leading companies nationally, allowing me to become a vocal advocate in the media for clean technologies, and to being invited to sit on the Policy Board for the UK Renewable Energy Association. We built the business to 52 employees and £6.4m revenues, during the ‘solar-coaster’ years.
I fell in love with cleantech but missed the ‘people’ aspect of being in search. Supporting both companies and individuals to grow. In 2014 I Founded Hyperion Executive Search to headhunt exclusively in the clean technology sectors; renewable energy, energy storage and electric and smart mobility, among other subcategories.
Today we have worked with some of the best known and most innovative cleantech companies in the world. Something I’m really proud of. Working extensively with post-investment start-ups, scale-ups and VC’s is what motivates me most and has lead me to also be a mentor for cleantech accelerators like Plug and Play Tech, and Foresight.
My passion and curiosity has also lead me to create and host the ‘Leaders in Cleantech’ podcast, where I interview leading founders, CEOs and VCs in the cleantech sector globally.
I’m now focused on building the Hyperion Cleantech Group globally.
I have three awesome kids, an old cat, and love to cycle for health, peace and pleasure. Born in London, I live in the great city of Liverpool. I love to travel and (pandemics aside) I’m fortunate to meet clients, and to speak at and attend conferences globally. I love to read, my bookcase is a thing of beauty, and I follow Liverpool Football club. I’m still hoping to be signed up at some point, but time is ticking on that one.
