Sustainability Specialist

Nicola Keen is a Sustainability Specialist at Circularity Capital, where she leads initiatives to measure, validate, and communicate the environmental impact of the firm’s investments. She works closely with portfolio companies to articulate their non-financial value, supporting ESG integration, sales enablement, and exit positioning.

Prior to joining Circularity Capital, Nicola was part of PA Consulting’s specialist circular economy team, where she advised corporates and public sector organisations on sustainability strategy, innovation, and transformation.
