I know what it feels like to want a career that matters — and not know where to start.

From Styrofoam to Strategy: Where My Climate Journey Began

A styrofoam cup- actually, thousands of them! That’s how my climate action journey began avery long time ago– long before it became part of the mainstream conversation.

I didn’t need a science degree to know something was wrong. Working at a global corporation early in my career, I watched 800 employees burn through four or more styrofoam cups a day which translated to over 750,000 a year! It was wasteful, harmful, and no one was talking about it. So I did.

I challenged the status quo, convinced leadership to ditch disposables, and led the charge to replace every cup with a reusable mug. We saved thousands of dollars and kept mountains of trash out of landfills. That moment lit a fire in me — and I’ve been pushing for bold, practical climate action ever since.

You Belong in This Space — Let’s Get You There

You’re a woman with years of experience behind you, passionate about climate action, but the job market feels confusing, competitive, and closed off. You’re doing everything right — and still wondering why it’s not clicking. It’s frustrating. It’s draining. And some days, it makes you question if there’s even a place for you in this space.

I’ve been there too. I know what it’s like to care deeply and still feel stuck. That’s exactly why I do this work — to help you cut through the noise, reconnect with your purpose, and finally step into the impact-driven career you’ve been working toward.

I Didn’t Start in Sustainability — That’s My Superpower. And it’s Probably Yours Too.

I have spent the better part of my career helping companies build sustainability strategies, engage employees on ESG, led DEI and climate workshops, and designed programs that help people launch careers with impact.

I coach future leaders at one of Europe’s top business schools and partner with mid-career women worldwide—helping both make bold pivots into high-impact careers in sustainability, with over 1,000+ hours of coaching experience.

But I didn’t start here

My path began in business development in financial services, evolved through leadership and culture consulting, and included time in the tech sector before I shifted fully into sustainability. That journey gives me a unique lens: I understand what it means to pivot, to upskill, and to carve out a purpose-driven path — because I’ve done it myself.

Outside of career coaching and consulting, I am a life-long volunteer for purpose-driven organisations. My podcast, women17, spent three years spotlighting global women driving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — and what I learned is that women bring a particular kind of tenacity and systems thinking to climate work. It’s a big part of why I now focus specifically on mid-career women making this transition.

Sustainability and climate action isn’t just part of my work — it is my work.

My Mission

To empower mid-career women to craft strategic, purpose-driven career paths in sustainability and climate action, aligning their unique strengths with opportunities to create a positive impact on the planet.

"Darcy has been an excellent coach. From the start I have felt safe and listened to sharing my thoughts and feelings, have felt challenged, which I needed to move me forward, all with a sense of understanding and rapport. I would like to thank Darcy for the way she has really helped me move from places where I ́ve felt stuck to actually getting on and achieving what I really want to do.

-KRISTINA

"I have genuinely enjoyed working with you over the past few months and I am so grateful for your support. My objective of formulating my professional step felt a bit overwhelming when I first reached out to you and you helped me break it down into steps that were simple while keeping me honest. You also have an amazing and warm personality and I was always looking forward to our calls!"

Esther

"Darcy's strategic mindset and ability to make me think broader was really valuable in helping me take a step back and stock of what really mattered and was important for the road ahead. She has helped me think thoroughly and in structured way of the career options and areas I could explore, what it might take to get there and potential outcomes. Her guidance and approach to ensure I was asking myself the right questions to reach the clarity were exactly what I have been looking for. I was lucky to be able to have her coaching."
