Avyse Partners continues to grow ESG and Sustainability practice with two new appointments

We are absolutely delighted to announce our two latest joiners to the ESG and Sustainability team, bringing deep asset management and corporate sustainability experience.

Jamie Govan, Senior Consultant

Jamie joins from the asset management industry where he has over 15 years’ experience in Sustainable Investing. 

Jamie spent his formative 8 years in the industry working within a successful Global Equities Investment team where he honed his company analysis and engagement skills as well as building experience in ESG data, integration and fund development. Laterally he leveraged that experience working closely with multiple asset classes across both public and private markets.  He subsequently led a Sustainable Investment Specialists team that supported Business Development, Client Relationship and Investment teams across a FTSE 100 multi-asset class company.

Jamie’s long-standing passion for sustainability and desire to engage with clients from a wide range of industries and geographies led him down the path to consulting.

Upon joining Avyse Partners, Jamie commented “The chance to join a business with aligned values that is at an exciting stage of growth was too good to ignore. I was impressed by the purpose led approach that the existing and expanding Avyse team have established and I am looking forward to working with new colleagues and our clients.”

Eimear Helly, Associate

Eimear has joined the ESG team and comes to us from a professional background in sustainability and responsible consulting.

Eimear has worked with a number of large multinationals on their sustainability processes and strategies and has particular experience working on human rights policy, sustainability risk analysis and communications strategy development across the consumer goods and credit management industries.

“In the face of the ever-changing and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape of sustainability, I am delighted to be joining the ESG and sustainability team here at Avyse. This as an exciting opportunity to fuse my personal passion for social justice and professional experience in sustainability consulting while also developing my regulatory knowledge alongside experts within the sustainability field. Furthermore, I am excited to experience and engage with Avyse’s purpose-led approach to consulting, while working alongside the team to support clients in delivering positive and sustainable change.”

Jenny Young, who heads up the ESG and Sustainability team said “This is such an exciting time for the team and a key milestone in our growth. The addition of Jamie and Eimear to the team further grows the blend of experience, deep expertise and passion for sustainability, and positions Avyse perfectly to support our growing base of clients across Financial Services and beyond.” 

Watch out in the coming months for more exciting announcements regarding the team and its continued expansion!
