Business Education

 In 2005, I left my work at the United Nations to pursue an MBA at London Business School with the plan of using it to change the way that business approached sustainability. While there, disappointed by the lack of sustainability content in the business school curriculum, I started a project on how to change that. This resulted in my first book, The Sustainable MBA used by businesses and business schools globally still today. I continue to work with universities, business school networks and businesses in order to push this agenda forwards. I was a Special Advisor to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education for over a decade and the recipient of the United Nations Pioneer Award for my work. I regularly train or advise deans and directors as well as faculty on embedding sustainability, teach and lecture, or develop new materials for use in the classroom. My aim is to influence, inspire and share innovative approaches that engage students, staff, faculty and alumni in these topics, regardless of their job. I have also written extensively on the subject in journals, publications and mainstream media.
