Hi, I’m Barry I love being outdoors – typically I’ll be hiking, mountain biking or trail running. I’m passionate about solving problems and helping businesses and people live fully and authentically. My professional background is broad. I entered the workplace at 16, so have covered some ground already! I have experience in leadership roles, establishing and running new departments to enable growth and creating roles to tackle specific problems. I have been successfully self-employed and worked for over a decade in creative industries, producing sets and props for film, theatre, and corporate events, before moving into the Sustainability sector where I have over 5 years’ experience. In 2015, after a 5-month adventure volunteering in Malawi and Southern Africa, I returned to the UK and committed to a purpose-led path. I completed my MSc in Sustainability and Adaptation in 2018, with a final thesis focused on the core skills needed to navigate complex challenges. Recognising education as a key lever for developing these skills, I undertook research projects, co-authored the opening chapter of Bloomsbury Academic’s “Universities as Agents of Change: Green Academy to Ecological University" and worked as an Instructional Designer. From 2021 I moved into corporate Sustainability within the tech startup space, holding roles including CSR Lead, and ESG & Sustainability Lead. During this time, I secured €2.2m in investor funding dedicated to embedding Sustainability into business strategy, operations and product/service development. August 2025, I founded Peakpact. Peakpact brings together my experience across creativity, business, problem-solving, and sustainability, grounded in the conviction that Sustainability emerges as a natural outcome of strong values, quality actions, and a commitment to collective thriving. I’m the proud Dad of two beautiful boys, born in 2023, and 2025. Peakpact exists for them – for the future generations. As businesses, individuals and communities, we sow the seeds of better business and better societies. Work, values, adventure, play, profit, purpose, life, thriving… not in tension. All in, togetther. I look forward to sharing adventures with you.
