Lucy Piper is the Director of WorkforClimate, a community of employee champions working to push their organisations to do better on climate. Lucy joined the team in 2020 after grappling with her own climate reckoning after being moved by Greta Thunberg's original speech to the UN; with Greta's words "we will never forgive you" echoing in her mind, Lucy decided to turn her skills towards climate solutions, and made the tough decision to leave her longtime role as the Global Head of Creative at Intrepid Travel. Prior to her time at Intrepid, Lucy worked in advertising and film production. When she's not working, Lucy can be found on adventures with her family (husband, four year old son, border collie puppy) or out running on the local trails.
