About me

I’m an independent consultant specialising in energy flexibility, bringing together commercial strategy and project delivery to help organisations thrive through the energy transition.

Over the past eight years I’ve worked at the forefront of flexibility. I began my journey in Solar before moving into demand-side response with a UK aggregator (Kiwi Power, Engie), where I saw first-hand how TSOs services can make use of flexibility to support and transform the grid. I later joined Piclo, the UK’s leading energy software company, working closely with UK and European DSOs to build and manage local flexibility markets, and increase flexible capacity.

As an independent consultant, I now support clients such as EY on a major European programme, helping a DSO design and implement flexibility markets. My work brings together commercial acumen, hands-on project management, and a strong understanding of how flexibility markets are developed and the software that enables them to run efficiently.
