About Me

Hi, I’m Tom, an award-winning speaker, climate career coach and activist. I help sustainability-conscious changemakers thrive in their lives and work.

I succeeded in the old world, graduating in economics and working as a consultant at Deloitte. But realised it was meaningless. In the midst of our climate & ecological crises, we must work to build a regenerative, just society.

Wearing my heart on my sleeve, I'm working to awaken the sustainability world to be the conscious, radical transformation that we need. The young professionals who I coach know me as a determined optimist, who believes in humanity and has a vision for a better future.

As a speaker at 100+ events, my audiences and venues have ranged from professionals at Patagonia to international changemaker conferences and 5000 students at the Ahoy stadium in Rotterdam.

I combine my paid work with volunteering as a climate activist with Extinction Rebellion - training & growing an impactful movement whose actions are driving change all around the world.

Are you interested in inspiring workshops, climate career coaching, or a keynote speaker? Let’s connect and have a chat!
