Life cycle assessment based consultancy start-up for which I oversee all technical environmental aspects. this includes overseeing the development of data gathering and synthesis tools as well as conducting LCAs and presenting clients with sustainability roadmaps.
I was the sole full-time worker for LCAworks for the last year and during this time I led sustainability projects from client acquisition through to data gathering, modelling, reporting and driving innovation with climate-based recommendations. Clients have included startups, charities, TNCs, and universities through which I have gained a broad range of LCA experience from standard corporate carbon accounting to highly bespoke LCA modelling analysing a range of impact indicators. The client facing aspects of this role have also provided me with a level of confidence and professionalism derived directly from experience in environmental consultancy.
