for Purpose-Driven Organizations

Integrity. Impact. Authenticity.

With nearly two decades of experience advancing sustainability,
Hallwood Sustainability helps organizations future-proof their business, manage risk, and unlock long-term value.

Core Sustainability Services

  • Strategic Advisory

    Organizations today are navigating a fast-evolving landscape of stakeholder expectations, political uncertainty, disclosure requirements, and climate risk— all while under pressure to demonstrate real, measurable progress. I work with boards, executive teams, and sustainability leads to clarify what matters most, and develop business-aligned strategies that build internal alignment and drive meaningful impact.

    Areas of expertise

  • Fractional Leadership

    Navigate economic uncertainty and ESG complexity— without the overhead of a full-time hire. Acting as an embedded advisor, I bring strategic clarity, build internal momentum, and deliver a practical blueprint for business-aligned sustainability.

    Key benefits

  • Personalized Coaching

    Empower your organization’s sustainability leaders—present and future—with 1:1 coaching from a former executive with in-house sustainability experience. Perfect for high-potential talent or newly appointed sustainability leads, this coaching will help to build confidence, sharpen strategic thinking, and accelerate impact across the organization.
