Biography
After interning at Google and completing my studies, where I achieved a 1st class honors degree from the University of London Institute in Paris in French, I turned to greener pursuits.

As a driven entrepreneur with a passion for the environment, I founded a company called Envirobike which specialises in developing public bike sharing systems for universities. However, my main preoccupation over the last year has been co-ordinating the Launch of the Environmental Investment Organisation's Environmental Tracking index series.
