Greener Tech can also be appealing and fun. I’m really excited to see how CTL is turning positive impact into commercial and social value. I lead the commercial department for this great industry innovation, which means I connect to B2B tech users and their suppliers. Connect to me for questions on how the tech you use can be more aligned with your values - and why that is a smart thing to do.

Business Development Director

Having worked in the telecommunications industry since 2006, some people refer to me being a 'telco dinosaur' where I prefer the term experienced. I want to use this experience at Closing the Loop to show the industry that profit, and purpose can go hand in hand. Our 'One for One' service has a clear positive impact on people and planet, while providing clear commercial benefits.
