With extensive experience in and passion for nature, and the circular economy, and her accomplishments working in and on emerging markets across government and the private sector, Nic brings a unique combination of skills and experience to Aither’s Resilience and Adaptation team.

Nic works with clients to translate high level objectives, strategy and theory into actions and outcomes that help organisations achieve their nature and circular economy related ambitions efficiently and effectively. She specialises in role of government analysis and advice; policy and market design; pilot management (testing new mechanisms and processes); and the evaluation or review of projects, programs and policy.
