We're proud to share that Lucy Smith and Sarah Harrold, who have been instrumental in shaping and delivering FIVe are stepping into new roles as Co-Directors of the Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC) — while continuing to lead and grow FIVe as a core part of FISC's mission.
Their leadership has driven FIVe's success in accelerating disruptive innovation, commercialisation, and adoption across the Foundation Industries — and now, they'll be scaling that impact even further through FISC.
David Knowles FREng who Co-Chairs FISC with Justin Kelly said: "It's fantastic to have such a dynamic leadership taking the helm - building from their existing involvement and experience with FISC - they will bring a laser focus, supporting transformation across the Foundation Industries."
"Together, Lucy and Sarah bring a shared passion for collaboration and a bold vision for a net zero future. Their continued leadership of FIVe will ensure it remains a dynamic platform for innovation and impact within the FIs."
We're excited for what's next — and proud to be part of this journey.
