Alice Poole

Alice Poole is an Associate Partner at PA Consulting. She leads PA’s sustainability approach for end-to-end Delivery and specialises in large complex programmes involving system-wide change, extensive political and stakeholder engagement, governance challenges, social impact, and high levels of risk.

She has over two decades of experience promoting sustainability (sustainable and green growth, social change, strong institutions, resilience, climate change adaptation, mitigation), just transitions, and effective delivery in the UK and globally. She is especially focused on the adaptation/ mitigation interface – how to ensure cities and places incorporate broader resilience and strong social impact measures. Her experience includes being Director of Operations at Tetra Tech International Development (including leading on strategic HR and risk and compliance); leading the Governance and Public Sector international development work at ICF; work on rebuilding fragile states and political economy (including urban water) at the World Bank; and as a Transatlantic Fellow at The German Marshall Fund (the latter both in Washington DC).

She holds masters’ degrees in public policy (Georgetown University) and an international MBA with distinction (University of Geneva). Alice is passionate about London.
