Summary

LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/patrickbgreen


I am an experienced consultant with a background in environmental sustainability and Green developments. I have worked at the interface of research and practice and in strategic roles to develop new approaches and ensure successful outcomes for organisations. Having had my early career in educational science research in chemistry, I moved into advising businesses on environment, biodiversity, marketing and sales issues. Successful completion of a Master of Science degree in Environmental Resources Management (ERM) and BTec in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship enabled me to build on previous work in sustainability and business management. As a result, I bring enhanced knowledge and expertise in the areas of strategic operations management, institutional strengthening and Business Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, as well as increasing participation of local businesses (local content) in supply chains of multinational corporations.
