NICK KEPPEL-PALMER
Value Redefined
My background is in business strategy and brand consulting - working with major corporations and ambitious start-ups.
For the past 15 years I have been focused on business to "do good".
Taking a planet centred perspective to classic brand strategy techniques is a pathway to discovering market leading new value opportunities.
There is massive business value in sustainability.
Experience
The work that most shaped my approach
01
VW
One of the strongest brands around. I spent 10 years developing strategy and new business models. I learned so much, how to plan a strategy, how to get it through layers of stakeholders, the leverage points in a complex business.
02
Wolff Olins
8 years heading up strategy for the global brand business. I ended up doing a lot of the complex and somewhat sensitive work. Royal Mail Group as it went through painful transition, NHS shifting to patient choice, RBS following the crash, PwC as it faced ferocious scrutiny, and many more.
03
Food and farming
I spent a lot of time with farmers working for DEFRA on diversification and collaboration. It was my first close examination of the disconnect between supply chains and landscapes. Later I led a future of food program for a major international supermarket group.
04
Eco tech and landscapes
The climate and biodiversity crises demand system level responses. "Transformation" isn't enough - we need new paradigms. Both eco-tech (hydrogen cars, natural refrigerants) and landscape restoration (Mongolia, Good Growth) needed new business models that work for the planet.
