Janet is a consultant in organisational development, leadership
and culture for NGOs and social enterprises. Until 2019 she worked for
Greenpeace International as People and Culture Director, where she led the
development and implementation of the organisation’s first global People
Strategy, oversaw the creation of a leadership development programme, and led
the development of an Integrity System for the global organisation.
Prior to that, in her role overseeing the development of national and regional Greenpeace organisations around the world, she was one of the key architects of a major strategic change to the organisation’s operating model. She led Greenpeace’s global climate campaign in the period immediately after the agreement of the Kyoto
Protocol, and, at the start of her career, participated in the campaign
to save Antarctica as a wilderness, protected from exploitation.
Janet was born in Aotearoa New Zealand, and has lived in Amsterdam for
over two decades. She has a Masters Degree in Resource Management, and
was selected as a Yale World Fellow in 2013.
