If the internet was a country, it would be the 6th biggest consumer of energy on earth. If you’re thinking about reducing the carbon footprint of your business, have you thought about your company website?

  • The influence of her father and mother on her radical approach to business
  • The importance of failure in business for building resilience
  • Her journey to becoming more radical as an adult
  • Starting a business with her life partner and best friend Tom
  • Using a first principles approach to website design
  • Her people-first approach to leadership and being ‘picky’ with who to hire
  • Leading the mission to lower the emissions of the internet
  • The future of the internet
