About Georgina

Experienced sustainability and strategic communications leader with over 15 years in the decarbonisation, energy and clean technology sectors.

I have a strong reputation as both a verbal and written communicator. This skill will be used to help you influence your target market, build or launch new products and promote your sustainability credentials.

I love getting into the data and going through the metrics for your TCFD, ESG or Carbon emissions disclosure.

Where I excel however is taking that data and making it tell a story. To assess market trends and the impact of macro events on business risk and planning, listening to, and responding to, customer need.

This combination of data analytics and strategic communication is a killer for commercial growth. Under my tenure, my last employer almost 3x'd its revenue from my core vertical in 4 years, against the backdrop of pandemic and energy crisis.
