Altiorem

Based in Hong Kong since ’95, CA turned BD pro with sector depth/interest/understanding of the interface of business and sustainability.  Hardwiring as CA has drawn me to get involved in the finance/investment side of sustainability.

I’m Altiorem’s business manager. My role encompasses marketing, fundraising, business and operations support and volunteer engagement. I’m interested in the intersection of social and environmental issues, particularly those that work towards a just transition to a future where people, nature and the economy flourish.

Australian lawyer with a background in international human rights, interested in how investors can consider human rights based on international law and, for which,  I devised a model in a PhD.
