Zoe studied German and History of Art at Birmingham in the late 90s and began her career in publishing in London when she graduated. She is now Head of Strategic Partnerships EMEA at a leading social sciences publisher and has over 20 years’ experience in both art and academic publishing working with international and domestic partners. Currently, her focus in publishing is on sustainable supply chains and embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals into content as well as aligning business practices with the goals to accelerate progress towards before the target date of 2030.
During the pandemic, Zoe returned to university to study Regenerative Economics MA at Schumacher College in Devon, graduating with distinction in May 2023. Through the course she learned about economics with a triple bottom of line of people and planet as well as profit. Living in a small but extremely close-knit village on the Blackdown Hills, she is aware of the power of community organisation which led her to apply for the trustee role at Devon Communities Together.
Outside of work, Zoe is a runner, recently completing the Salmon Run on behalf of the Rivers Trust from Exmouth to Dulverton taking in most of the Exe Valley on the way!
I love Devon because…
It’s beautiful, it’s varied and most importantly, it’s home!
