Helena Connors

Senior Consultant

Helena is a Senior Consultant in the Commodities Supply Chain team. She is currently working on a project assisting a large UK food retailer to design and implement its forest policy. She is interested in the impacts of global commodity supply chains from both an environmental and social perspective.

Before she joined 3Keel, she spent 3 years working as a sustainability consultant, specialising in food systems and land use change. She is an experienced project manager, and enjoys building collaborative relationships with clients to work towards a more sustainable future. Prior to working in the environmental sector, she practiced as a solicitor for a City law firm for 4 years.

She first became interested in sustainable commodities while reading about the links between women’s rights and deforestation, and grassroots initiatives such as the Green Belt movement that have sought to address both simultaneously. This interest in grassroots movements has led her to volunteer at a Community Supported Agriculture farm in South London in her spare time, helping to promote agroecological farming in the local area.

She has a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford, and an MSc in Environmental Technology (specialising in Sustainable Business) from Imperial College London.
