Josephine Ilesanmi -CEO & Founder

I am an environmental, public health and energy transition consultant with a passion for sustainable development. With 15+ years of experience, my areas of expertise stem from both industry and academia with interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral dimensions. My industry experience ranges from public health investigative actions such as pre-clinical research for bioactive and bioengineered target compounds to environmental project management related to environmental impact assessment, compliance measures and reporting for companies, sustainable eco-entrepreneurship and business models.

My academic experience ranges from policy analysis from the lens of economic, social, technology, environmental and legal factors to formulate and recommend concrete-strategies as well as policy advisory services to businesses, institutions, government officials and agencies towards sustainability and energy transition objectives. In this role, I incorporate and contextualize international and national practices to reflect local social, environmental, technological, economic, legal and public health realities to ensure effective policy diffusion. To contribute to the knowledge pool on sustainable business practises, green policy and energy transition, I have contributed to book chapters published by Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. Furthermore, I have several publications and invited speaking engagements. My combined working and speaking engagements span regions including West Africa, Qatar, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
