How I can help

I work with organisations developing forestry and land-use initiatives who are navigating investment decisions, delivery challenges and increasing complexity in nature finance and nature-based solutions.

My role is to bridge perspectives — between science, technology, communities, business and investment — and to support clear decision-making where strategy, implementation and accountability need to align.

From vision to delivery across the value chain

  • This is useful if

    • your project is at concept or early delivery stage

    • you want to test whether the project really holds together

    • you’re preparing for investor, partner or governance discussions

    What I do

    • work with theory of change and project logic as a backbone

    • test alignment between activities, outcomes and intended impact

    • sense-check technical, operational and commercial assumptions

    Typical outputs

    • clear review of project or programme design

    • structured feedback on concepts or pitch materials

    • practical recommendations on what to fix or focus on next

    Example

    • Reviewing a Nature-based solutions proposal project before investor discussions

Frameworks, governance and decision-readiness

  • This is useful if

    • frameworks, standards or reporting requirements are shaping decisions

    • technical detail is outpacing governance or delivery capacity

    • clarity is needed before committing resources or partnerships

    What I do

    • support the development and interpretation of frameworks and indicators

    • assess whether governance, safeguards and delivery structures are fit for purpose

    • connect technical analysis to decision-making needs

    Typical outputs

    • clarity on what frameworks mean in practice for a given project

    • structured input into governance or reporting approaches

    • decision-ready summaries highlighting priorities, risks and gaps

    Example

    • Supporting organisations to align technical frameworks with delivery and governance realities

Communicating projects to investors, partners and communities

  • This is useful if

    • you’re preparing for investor or partner conversations

    • the technical story isn’t landing with decision-makers

    • you want to communicate ambition without overclaiming or greenwashing risk

    What I do

    • translate technical and project-level work into clear, decision-ready language

    • develop pitch deck structures and narrative flow

    • review and refine existing materials for clarity and coherence

    • adapt communication for investors, corporates, communities or partners

    Typical outputs

    • pitch deck structures or outlines

    • reviewed and refined decks or briefings

    • clear explanation of value, risks and assumptions

    Example

    • Designing a pitch deck structure for a forestry project

Field-based and on site assessments

  • Examples

    • Site visits linked to investment or acquisition decisions

    • Field reports highlighting risks, sensitivities and delivery priorities

Work with me

Is this where you are right now?

  1. Exploring new value streams in forestry or land use -such as carbon, biodiversity or other ecosystem services - and trying to make sense of the options and trade-offs?

  2. Assessing or investing in a land-use or forestry assets, and wanting clarity on how ecology, communities, business models and reporting requirements fit together in practice?

  3. Navigating nature tech, MRV tools or reporting frameworks, and unsure what is actually relevant, credible or proportionate for your project or organisation?

  4. Working across teams, partners or regions, where different incentives and perspectives are slowing decisions or creating friction?

In these situations, having someone who can connect ecology, communities, technical inputs and investment logic helps reduce friction and move projects forward with clearer decisions.
