I am the founder of Loowatt, having developed the technology during my masters’ degree. We provide solutions for circular economy sanitation, starting with a great toilet experience. We sell toilets systems to service providers. We have worked in both the UK and overseas; as of 2024 our full company focus is on Madagascar and South Africa our service businesses are growing rapidly. We track impact created by our hardware – waste safely managed, carbon emissions reductions, beneficiaries. I lead an international team, communicating our vision internally and externally. I have become an expert on sanitation having worked in this field for over 10 years. Sanitation is universal for all people, and touches so many aspects of life – relationship to resources, cultures and habits – so it stays interesting!
