As a sustainability practitioner with 17 years’ experience, Olivia Tyler aims to do herself out of a job. She believes that everyone, no matter their role in society, can make decisions that help to create a better future -- and that businesses can, too. Tyler joined the financial services sector after a 10-year career in manufacturing and retail. Drawing upon her MBA as well as Bachelor’s degrees in Science and Environmental Engineering, she leads the creation and adoption of responsible, sustainable and inclusive practices across the supply chain and identifies ways to reduce the environmental impact of an organisation’s operations.
