Dermot Hikisch Bio

Posted on June 4th, 2009 by derm

I am a 2008 MSc graduate in Strategic Leadership and Sustainability from the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden.  Formerly I have worked in sales and management for Procter & Gamble, Red Bull Energy Drink, and others.  I also spent several fun-filled seasons forest fire fighting in beautiful British Columbia.

I currently work in Edinburgh as a research manager for ENDSCarbon and my ‘off’ time, I freelance consult. Over the past 12 months I have written reports for Ethical Corporation on global water insecurity & business risk and supported another report for the UN on investor action towards climate change. I also provide knowledge support on strategic sustainable development for RealEyes Sustainability in Dublin, and run a company ratings service on climate action for the non-profit Climate Counts.  Am I a bit busy? Sure, and at such a crucial time in our planet’s history, I wish I could do more.

I deeply love working with my peers and I hope to continue to do so and build on it by utilizing the EMSRG.

Currently, I am passionate about two things, true cost accounting (Theo at Sustainable Ventures deserves credit for adding fuel to my fire), and the handprint concept, which I hope to expand into the mainstream with any and all who will help.

Oh yah, I also like running and playing in the great outdoors.  Doesn’t everyone?
