Catherine joins the business from Shell LNG Marketing & Trading (SLMT), a division of Shell Plc, where she was responsible for leading global business strategy and steering digital transformation.
Previously, Catherine held the position of CEO at clean energy tech company Limejump, which provided route-to-market access for renewable generators and optimisation of grid scale batteries.

Catherine brings over 25 years’ experience in energy trading, technology and risk management to the team.
Jonathan Navon, co-founder at CFP Energy, commented: “Catherine’s appointment further strengthens our senior management team, and her wealth of experience across trading and technology will be a vital tool in supporting the wider group as we step into our exciting next phase of growth.
"We look forward to working closely with Catherine to scale the business as we support an ever-increasing number of companies on their road to a more sustainable future."

"It's great to be a part of helping to unlock that potential, particularly as the need for renewable and sustainable corporate energy transitions has never been more urgent."

In 2016 The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted a variety of measures demanding material and operational efficiency upgrades from aviation operators. As one branch of these measures, the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) began in 2021, as a lever to mandate offsetting of CO2 emissions and incentivise uptake of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
