Biography
I am a co-founder and board member of Global Witness, and together with colleagues, Charmian Gooch and Patrick Alley, we were Skoll awardees in 2014. I remain on the board of Global Witness.
But since concluding our succession process, I have set up a new organisation called Hawkmoth. We conduct targetted campaigns, aimed at taking on some of the underlying factors driving the Polycrisis. We conduct investigations, litigation, and broader campaign/advocacy, and thro' creating designed-for-purpose coalitions, we aim to target the perpetrators of crimes and predatory behaviours that drive the polycrisis.
Our first campaign (for which we need urgent support) is to prevent the International Oil companies from leaving the Niger Delta, as they are currently seeking to do (just prior to the 2025 Forum), without first cleaning up their vast pollution legacy, which has laid waste to the Delta for decades, poisoning hundreds of thousands of Delta citizens.
