Nic's fascination with human behaviour and consumption began after a successful 15 -year career in the global world of fast-moving consumer goods. She now runs a social enterprise called Mainstream Green, leveraging her corporate insights to create a movement where people are more mindful of how they consume and the impact they have. Through regular media appearances, events and content creation, Nic shows a version of sustainability that we can all relate to. A version that’s better for our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet and that inspires change in organisations and communities.
