I founded Keyah in 2020, inspired by a vision to bridge the gap between sustainability and finance. ‘Keyah’ is a girl’s name meaning “in good health,” reflecting my commitment to fostering businesses that prioritise the triple bottom line—profit, people, and planet. By aligning finance with projects that embed sustainability and ESG principles, we can mitigate negative business impacts while driving positive change for individuals, communities, and economies.

With a career spanning government, business, and academia, I bring deep expertise in policy and regulations, sustainability and ESG strategy, and responsible governance. As part of my commitment to thought leadership and knowledge-sharing, I founded the LinkedIn Group “Sustainable Real Estate” in 2020, which now has over 8,000 members, fostering industry-wide discussions on sustainability and ESG trends, sustainable investment, and impact-driven business strategies.

In addition to my consulting work, I have an extensive network of partners across the UK and Europe, enabling me to deliver insights and solutions tailored to businesses, investors, and policymakers looking to integrate sustainability into their core strategies.
