Climate Change Stewardship Director

Helen leads CCLA's climate change stewardship work. She engages with investee companies (primarily US utilities) to encourage them to manage the risks and opportunities associated with the net-zero transition. Helen convened the award-winning 'Aiming for A' stewardship initiative - one of the forerunners of Climate Action 100+. She was the recipient of the 2020 Joan Bavaria Award for her leadership on sustainability.

Until COP26 in Glasgow, much of Helen's time is allocated to the UK and Canadian governments' Powering Past Coal Alliance. She started her career at NatWest, Ashridge Business School, and UKSIF after graduating from the London School of Economics.
