Hi there ! So, how about a little background information ? Real good then - I hold a BA in Economics and Psychology from the University of Victoria in Victoria, Canada (2005) and a MSc in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability from the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden (2008). For the past three and a half years, I’ve been involved with the sales, marketing and business development aspects of Schneider Electric\’s energy management solutions. Based on my personal and professional experiences in the energy efficiency sector, I’m a very strong advocate for forward-looking and holistic energy policies and strategies. I am also passionate about educating stakeholders and shareholders on sustainable business and investment strategies, and the role they play in catalyzing the movement towards a profitable, successful, and sustainable future – a result of my continued involvement with evolving the ideas of Strategic Sustainable Investing. Overall, I’d call myself a sustainability generalist with interests and ideas in many different areas: from biomimicry to behavioural change, greening the built environment to sustainability education, and stakeholder engagement to cleantech – the list goes on! I’m fortunate to reside on the beautiful west coast of Canada where I’m equally active in the outdoors as I am in the sustainability scene, and, as my friends know, I’m always more than happy to have a dialogue around the topic of the day.  Feel free to contact me at: nick.g.blandford [at] gmail.com
