Charles Woodhatch
Advisory Lead Canada & Sustainability Lead
Avanade
How is your job related to climate and/or sustainability?
I advise clients on how to take the ESG strategy and make it real – connect to SDG’s, measure, get the data and report on it
What training (in higher education or at a company or organization) was particularly important to enabling your work?
I felt my Finance training at a big 4 audit firm really helps me understand the concepts around data & measurement etc. Also my understanding of connecting business outcomes to Technology based on consulting experience
What advice do you have for people looking for careers in climate and/or sustainability?
You need to be able to merge data/analytics skills with business acumen and strategy. I think there will be different streams – like engineering sustainable products/processes; data/reporting skills; sustainable experiences etc.
