Lisa works with policymakers, civil society, and businesses to make a faster and just energy transition politically palatable. She combines technical and political analysis to find impactful levers in the UK’s and the EU’s energy transition pathways. She works with international partners and institutions to build cooperation and diplomatic engagement for a shift away from fossil fuels towards geopolitically resilient, renewable energy-based economies and societies.
Before joining E3G in 2016, Lisa worked for the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (now BEIS) on climate finance. She also worked as an Economic Adviser for the UK Department for Transport, shaping the country’s multi-billion rail investment plans and advising on the commercial negotiating of various major rail procurements.
Lisa holds a MSc in Political Economy of Development from the School of Oriental and African Studies as well as a BA in International Relations from the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, and has lived in France, Argentina and Algeria. Lisa is a keen climber and helped set up Akwaaba, a migrant community centre in North London.
Lisa is currently on maternity leave. Please contact another member of the Energy Transition petal, headed by co-CEO Shane Tomlinson, for any enquiries.
