Hello, 

I'm Nellie de Goguel, an award-winning content producer, writer, editor, interviewer, comms expert, systems thinker and occasional panellist / public speaker / moderator. I'm currently an Executive Producer at the Financial Times. 

I try to make sense of the world through words, data, imagery and creative formats — anything that cuts through the chaos and connects with a desired audience.  

My subject specialties include sustainability, climate, ESG, just transition, oceans and the blue economy, cities, food, film and tv, and cannabis (to name just a few). 

I started my career as head writer for PerezHilton.com and have since... 

• Worked as digital manager and columnist for Providence Media
• Supported the City of Providence's Climate Justice Plan as Sustainability Strategy Manager
• Formed the sustainability, partnerships, and comms strategy as Director of Sustainability for a green travel startup
• Led the launch and managed editorial strategy for Economist Impact's "The Sustainability Project"
• Managed editorial for Economist Impact's World Ocean Initiative

Throughout that time I earned an MSc in Sustainable Development from Trinity College Dublin, was communications chair for the Rhode Island Food Policy Council, won three RI Press Association Awards, wrote for POLITICO, The Economist, The FInancial Times, the Wine Society and others, and moonlighted as a bartender. 

On a more personal note, I live in Worthing with my wolf-dog Basil and serve as the Communications Officer for the local Green Party.
