Description

I help investors, developers and landowners turn renewable energy opportunities into investable, consentable and deliverable projects.

I bring senior leadership experience across UK renewable energy development, with a strong focus on solar PV, BESS, onshore wind, project origination, portfolio growth and corporate governance. I have built a UK renewable energy business from scratch, creating the team, processes, partnerships and project pipeline needed to compete credibly in a demanding market.

My strength is connecting commercial strategy with engineering reality. I can work across land, grid, planning, legal, finance, technical design, risk and board-level decision-making, helping projects move from early opportunity through feasibility, investment approval, development strategy and construction readiness.

I usually support projects involving market entry, portfolio review, site origination, development strategy, grid and planning risk, commercial structuring, due diligence, governance, stakeholder management and team building.

What makes me stand out is that I understand the whole development lifecycle, not just one workstream. I bring practical judgement, disciplined execution and clear communication, helping teams make better decisions, manage risk and build renewable energy portfolios with real long-term value.
