ABOUT TOM
Adventurer. Conservationist. Expedition leader.
I climb mountains to tell stories that move people to act — for wildlife, for the planet, and for the purpose in their own lives.
MY STORY
Purpose, at altitude.
By day I’m Head of Trusts & Foundations at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Before that I was Trusts & Foundations Manager at the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
Beyond the office I lead teams up Kilimanjaro, climb in the high mountains of Central Asia, speak to organisations about risk and resilience, and host the Build Your Purpose podcast.
[Tom — a short personal paragraph: where you grew up, what first pulled you to the mountains, and what “purpose” means to you.]
