In 2008, I co-founded Edge Impact with a bet on life cycle assessment, environmental product declarations, and carbon transparency. The market barely existed. We were early, we were rigorous, and we were the friendly consultancy. That combination turned out to be commercially decisive.
Over the next 16 years, we scaled from a startup to more than 100 people across Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and the USA. We earned B Corp certification and a Platinum Consultancy rating. I took on industry governance roles including Vice Chair of the Technical Advisory Group at EPD Australasia, President of the Australian Life Cycle Assessment Society, and a seat on the UNEP Life Cycle Initiative Steering Committee. The company became a genuine market leader in sustainability consulting.
In 2024, Edge Impact was acquired by RSK Group. That chapter taught me as much about transactions, leverage, and decision-making under pressure as the previous 15 years combined. The lessons are captured in my Operating Principles, which exist to interrupt the forgetting that happens between hard decisions.
Now I contribute through board roles, technical advisory, and thought leadership. I'm drawn to organisations where sustainability is treated as a strategic capability, not a compliance exercise. Where the work requires genuine technical depth, governance credibility, and the pattern recognition that only comes from having built and scaled.
