Summary

Greg Lavery is the CEO and co-founder of Lavery Pennell, a London-based strategy consulting firm focussed on profitable, sustainable solutions to today's business challenges which include rising input costs, pricing of externalities such as carbon, new technologies, customer & shareholder scrutiny, and volatility/uncertainty.

He has consistently demonstrated, through his projects with Booz & Company and Origin Energy, that a more sustainable approach to business can be profitable. For example, recently Greg assisted a world-leading Middle Eastern eco-city to develop a profitable business model, built the business case for intelligent green buildings for a leading ICT company, and helped an oil & gas company to develop a GHG Emissions Management Strategy profitably saving 16M tCO2e p.a. with a $2B NPV and 14% IRR.

Greg has over 15 years strategic and corporate experience across a broad range of sustainability and low carbon solutions, including renewable energy, environmental conservation, green buildings and energy efficiency.

And please forgive him for using the 'Dr' in his name. While he actually does have a PhD he is not really a tool - it is just that there is a Greg Lavery in the US who is a Party Poker legend.
