"An informed and forceful Keynote speaker at our recent national conference who took the trouble to thoroughly learn the brief. As a consequence, she gained credibility with our audience as well as with the media who have widely reported what she had to say"
Georgia is a trailblazing and award-winning environmental engineer, bringing a rare blend of corporate leadership, technical expertise, and activism to each platform. With 30 years’ experience in hard-to-decarbonise industries, she has worked at the sharp edge of sustainability where solutions are complex, incrementalism fails, and bold action is the only way forward.
As the UK’s first Environment Manager in the construction sector, Georgia built her career in industries where sustainability is often discussed, but innovation is slow. Having served as a Sustainability Director in major corporates, she founded Element Four, a consultancy delivering “disruptive sustainability”, embedding systemic, measurable change for clients including the Bank of England, Amnesty International, Nike and HSBC. Her approach is both pragmatic and uncompromising: helping leaders cut through jargon, greenwash, and surface-level pledges to focus on what truly shifts the dial.
Beyond the corporate, Georgia is a passionate campaigner and Founder of Fighting Dirty, a non-profit using the law to strengthen national environmental policy and regulation. She famously brought a landmark legal case against the UK government for excluding major polluters from their Emissions Trading Scheme, sparking a national conversation and influencing regulatory reform. Her activism positions her as a fearless voice for environmental and social justice, ensuring sustainability conversations are rooted not just in carbon metrics, but also in fairness, equity, and intergenerational responsibility.
Georgia’s speaking style is bold, engaging, and transformative. She has delivered keynotes and moderated panels at international events including TEDx, The New York Times Climate Forward, Blue Earth Summit, European Climate Change Summit, and multiple industry conferences. Whether addressing C-suite executives, policymakers, or professional institutions, she has an unrivalled ability to translate complexity into clear, actionable insights. She excels at panel moderation, especially in high-stakes discussions with diverse stakeholders, by challenging, balancing, and generating constructive dialogue.
Example topics include:
- Disruptive Sustainability – beyond virtue-signalling to systemic, industry-wide transformation.
- Law, Policy & Activism – how legislation can drive climate accountability and societal justice.
- Greenwash & False Solutions – confronting uncomfortable truths and proceeding with integrity.
Audiences are energised, informed, and ready to act. Their understanding of risks and opportunities increases, building confidence to go from superficial commitments to meaningful change and the inspiration to lead with courage.
