I support CXOs and senior leaders in energy-intensive industries in
turning decarbonisation into clear, confident business decisions — not
abstract ambitions.
Decarbonisation confronts leaders with unfamiliar technologies,
conflicting narratives and high uncertainty.
As a strategic sparring partner, I help executives cut through
complexity, prioritise realistically and prepare decision-ready
strategies — balancing technology, economics, regulation and
organisational reality.
Why this matters
Decarbonisation is not a technology problem.
It is a leadership challenge.
Many decarbonisation initiatives stall not because of lack of ambition,
but because decisions are made under uncertainty: unclear assumptions,
technology hype, shifting regulation and organisational constraints.
Executives are expected to act — often without a reliable basis for
prioritisation or a safe space to challenge assumptions.
This is where strategic sparring becomes critical.
My Role
I work with leaders, not on slides.
My role is to act as a
thinking partner and sounding board when the stakes are
high and the path forward is unclear.
I help executives:
- structure complex decisions
- challenge implicit assumptions
-
translate technical complexity into business relevance
-
align strategy, narrative and organisational readiness
My work does not end with a report — it starts with
better decisions.

-
1. Executive Decarbonisation Sparring
