Hello there.
Welcome to the blog of the Sustainable Initiatives Fund Trust (SIFT).
My name is Linda and I run SIFT. I started life with SIFT as a Fund Application Manager in 2006 and within 6 months, was promoted to the Chief Executive role.
My qualification are in Chemistry and Geology from the University College, Cardiff, South Wales. I also have an MBA from the University of Canterbury
My professional background is in audit and tax having worked for consultancy giants like Ernst & Young and Deloitte as well as active involvement in early stage projects and financial management for most of my work life. I’ve also run my own business.
But my passion is in waste management, sustainable development and anything to do with environmental sustainability. Making the world a better place for our children’s children.
SIFT = me. A very good fit methinks
And yes, I’m English but lovin’ it here in paradise — that’s New Zealand for you 
This blog will chronicle both SIFT and my personal journey on sustainable development.
More about SIFT on my next post.
Stay tuned!
