Isobel is driven by a commitment to restoring harmony between natural and human systems. She joins eXXpedition to deepen her contribution to ocean health and to learn alongside a community of women who share her determination to create meaningful change.
In her professional life, Isobel supports the built environment sector in its transition toward a circular and regenerative economy. She’s witnessed both the immense waste generated across the industry and the inspiring innovations that are redefining how materials can be recaptured, reused, and re-imagined. She works for Arup and she has collaborated closely with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, helping accellerate the transition to a circular economy. Isobel’s interest in regenerative ecosystems and systems change has led her to contribute to the Cybernetics Society as a council member as well.
Collaboration sits at the heart of her work. Isobel believes deeply in the power of bringing diverse voices and groups of women together to unlock new ways of thinking and acting. She is currently working with her Godmother to support women stepping into leadership from a place of strength with Consulting Women – building on the legacy of her late mother and her lifelong commitment to empowering women.
She grew up with a deep love of the sea and the natural world, spending a lot of time on the Isles of Scilly and sailing in the Solent (UK). That early love for marine environments now fuels her desire to support planetary health in a more hands on and tangible way, ideally while on or near the water! Joining eXXpedition is an exciting step in her continuing journey to support our planet, evolving our capability to protect our ecosystems and contribute to solutions for plastic pollution.
