I work with non-profits and purpose-led organisations who need a senior manager to lead complex change work involving digital tech, sustainability or a combination or the two.
I come armed with a big old smile and a swiss-army knife of skill sets that broadly divide into three categories:
Technologist
My academic background as a computer scientist and commercial experience allows me to steer and support technical work pragmatically.
Sustainability
My knowledge of and passion for the complex environmental systems that our social systems rely on allows me to confidently distinguish between greenwashing and impactful initiatives.
Leadership
My experience managing teams and communicating with wider audiences through public speaking and writing allows me to be an effective driver of impactful, sustained change.
How can I be of help to you?
Green Web Foundation
Currently, I work four days a week at the not-for-profit organisation Green Web Foundation, where I’m Director of Operations.
My primary role is to facilitate effective and joyful delivery as we work on our goal to see a fossil-free internet by 2030.
We offer a number of commercial services where you can directly access my and the team’s expertise on the topic of digital sustainability, or discuss a potential collaboration to drive industry or systems level sustainability impacts in the digital tech industry.
For example we can help:
- Teams and organisations with an orientation into digital tech sustainability and what to do about it.
- Technical advice on practical implementation iof digital sustainability in relatable and actionable terms.
- Provide energetic and fun people to speak at an event or to your team.
- Provide strategic and practical advice on how to drive step change towards sustainability in the digital tech industry.
You can always drop me a line through my contact page to arrange a chat for this or any other ideas you might have on working together.

Energetic and ever positive, Hannah combines strong leadership skills with great experience of designing and embedding effective change in complex organisations. She’d be an asset to any business, and also happens to be great fun to work with.

Hannah has been an absolute dream to work with this past year. Her talent for understanding people as well as she understands code is second to none and working with her has completely transformed the way we develop our website. Hannah is optimistic, down to earth and very talented, an all-round superstar!

Hannah did so much to improve our business by the end we were unrecognisable. She has a very special blend of human, business and technical skills which means she can operate within (and improve) teams and work autonomously when she needs to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hannah to any business.

The WordPress solution Hannah created for State of Liberty is genius. We wanted flexibility and that’s what we got. Hannah foresaw needs we didn’t yet know we had and built a robust site that is allowing us to adapt and respond to our customers without needing further development.

Hannah was exactly what our business needed! She took a garbled brief for a website and produced the complete package. Plus she understood the product to the point that she wrote information materials for distribution. She has a very comprehensive skillset.
Kathy Bellamy – Director at Shire Systems (South Pacific) Ltd

She is very versatile and I have worked with her as a creative ideas person, a technical guru and a capable strategic leader. She often sees opportunities where others see challenges and solutions where others are stuck in the problems. I can’t wait to work with Hannah again.
