Having grown up in a small farming and fishing village in rural Scotland, she is passionate about sustainability, community, and the ethical treatment of animals, and is a strong believer in empowering ecological farmers to play a central role in managing our food system. Her previous experience includes managing large scale loan and grant operations for the World Bank, running her own consulting, research and investment advisory firm focused on supporting women in emerging markets, and directing operations and strategy for Oceania’s first vertically integrated solar power utility.
