About Katherine Ann Byam

My name is Katherine Ann Byam, and I’m a best-selling author, sustainability activist, coach and consultant for business resilience and sustainable change, partnering with leaders committed to a shared future for life on our planet.”
A professional with 20+years change leadership experience in the FTSE Top 10, I started my consulting firm in 2019 to support sustainable development within SMEs.
I hold an MBA with distinction, specialising in Innovation Management as well as certificates in ESG, digital strategy, and sustainability management from established universities. She’s also a Fellow of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants.
I’m the host of the internationally acclaimed Where Ideas Launch – Sustainable Innovation Podcast, ranked among the top 5% globally, achieving the top spot in 5 countries, and the top 10 in 21 separate charts.
As an ESG Consultant, I work with firms on their net zero transitions, evaluating materiality, developing a strategy, and then delivering key projects that realise long term net-positive goals.
As a sought-after leadership career coach, ESG practitioner and keynote speaker, I facilitate workshops and learning sessions for communities within global brands such as Amazon, Women Tech Global, ACCA, Stryker, Speak Up, Mind Channel and more.
To relax, I love spending my spare time in nature, walking the coasts of the UK, France, Tobago, and Trinidad with my partner Christophe.
