Stéphanie Jacometti – Junior Partner

Stéphanie recently graduated from Imperial College with a MSc. in Environmental Technology. Previously, she gained a BSc. Hons. in Management and Systems from City University. After working in hedge fund services and foreign exchange at JPMorgan Chase, she changed career and focused instead on communications in the energy and environment sector by working at the World Energy Council. This led to work at the InterAcademy Council and the report “Lighting the Way – Toward a Sustainable Energy Future”. This report was commissioned by the governments of China and Brazil and co-chaired by José Goldemberg and Steve Chu, current US Energy Secretary.

During her year at Imperial College, she became interested in behavioural change and wrote her thesis on “Creating and sustaining a behavioural change in energy conservation – The role of Foundations.” This led to training as a facilitator in the Be The Change Symposium and a commitment to making behavioural change sustainability programmes available worldwide. Apart from being an environmentalist, Stéphanie is also a regular theatregoer and attends productions at least every fortnight. She is energetic, a natural enthusiastic communicator and enjoys leading teams.
